how to tie your shoes
Watch this video to help you learn to tie those laces. I bet my whole class will know how to tie their shoes by Halloween,
Fine Motor Fun
We worked so hard coloring rainbow letters and tearing paper. Look how great our names look.
Tearing paper is a great way to improve handwriting by strengthening the muscles in our hands.
Elmer the Elephant
We read one of my favorite books, Elmer the Elephant and made our own patchwork elephants.
Ask your child, the characters, setting, problem and solution.
Watch for Elmer to come home soon!

Hello Song
Each morning we listen to the "Hello Song" while we get unpacked. We put our own folders in the folder basket, lunches on the hooks, water bottles in the bucket, backpacks zipped up and on our chairs. We sing and dance while we work and have to be READY TO LEARN at the carpet before the song ends!
