My Circle of Friends

We can have many, many friends. Today we learned that there is always room for one more in our circle of friends.

Today our circle of friends made some beautiful purple and blue things together.

Ff is for Flamingo. We think Pink Flamingos are ffffunny!

 We are learning to use scissors. Heather is going to show us a few things to ease your child's frustrations at home:

 Make sure your child holds the scissors in his or her writing hand with the thumb up towards the sky.Your child’s thumb should be in the smaller hole and the second and third fingers (or pointer and long fingers) should be in the larger hole of the scissors. Then make sure that your child holds the paper with the other hand.

When cutting the hand that is not holding the scissors is called the Helper Hand. Make sure that your child uses the helper hand to turn and adjust the paper rather than moving the scissors around the paper. If your child is cutting with his or her right hand cut counterclockwise. If your child is cutting with his or her left hand cut clockwise.
