We began with a discussion of what is ok to cut and what is not. We also sang a little song and mimicked the scissor motions with our hands...
"Open, shut them,
Open, shut them,
Cut, cut, cut,
Cut, cut, cut,
Open, Shut them,
Open, shut them,
Cut, Cut Cut,
Cut, Cut, Cut.
I then passed out the scissors and we practiced picking them up and putting our fingers in the correct holes. We sang our song again and tried to open and close the scissors. Next, we attempted to cut a single strip of paper into bits. Some were successful, some just ripped the paper, others just cut fringe and never had a complete cut. The awkward holds, upside-down fists, coordination of scissor and paper will take time to master but we will get there with many opportunities and a lot of practice. The fruits of our labor were sent home in baggies.
Thank you to those who sent in framed family photos. It is a nice touch of home in our room. See you Friday!
