Nursery - PreK January 24-28, 2011

Exercising our cutting muscles. Gripping the scissors in a good way and coordinating the open close of the hand with the tool, positioning the paper just right. Cutting with scissors is a complex fine motor skill. It is one that young people are eager to learn. This week we will have fun practicing this skill. Making little pieces of big pieces students will cut their own way. What kinds of shapes will they make? Each one will be different. We will collect all of our small pieces and next time we will glue them down on paper. Then what will we do with them? Wait and see.
