Lesson 4/14

Hi Everyone,

We are continuing to work on proper scissor grip.

Today we are focusing on following a straight line while cutting. We need to reinforce the open close movement of the scissor. Practice that skill before trying to cut the paper.

Remember ... this is a new and somewhat challenging skill which requires practice and patience.

As we move forward we will have your child learn to hold the paper with one hand and cut with the other.

For now, please hold the paper tightly for them so there are no gaps.

Remind them to try to follow the line but the skill is more about the open/ close maneuver.

Practice on different items in your home.. paper, tin foil, tissue paper etc.

Have fun and remember, new skills take time.
