| Pencil grip is such a hard habit to break! (Oooh, I just heard a "Chicago" tune roll through my mind.) |

| This pic was taken AFTER two children had done a clean-up of the paper scraps. Holding scissors properly is ALSO a challenging skill. |

| Day One--Self-Portraits You can tell so much about a child's development from the details in his/her drawings of people. |

| Splat came back! He will begin his home visits next week. He has a small, red backpack that holds his journal and one of his books. The children take him home for a few days, read to him, and draw a picture for him. He is our class mascot! |
Love the self portraits and the cute frames.
ReplyDeleteI have a little activity that I use to help with scissors skills over a Teachers Notebook. I understand about the lessons "already" learned at home or preschool.
Yup my will look like this too. I will be checking back to see all the growth you will make with them!

Love the pic of the table "after" the kids had cleaned up---my students are still working on how to clean up too! I know what you mean about needing to take a 3-hour nap after school-I have been coming home every day this week and just laying on the couch for at least an hour before I can do anything! Beginning of the year kinders sure can be tiring! We should definitely visit this year-it would be fun to set up a little get together with any St. Louis area teacher bloggers.
