Tying shoes. Tissues. Band Aids. Sharpening pencils. Lunch numbers. Hand Sanitizer. Allergies. IEP’s. Seating chart. Markers that work. Room arrangement. Emergency procedures. Rules. Transitions. Technology. Centers.
One thing I forgot about 1st graders is how young they are. My students are continuously looking to me for help and guidance in the smallest of ways. An issue I have come across (that I didn't think about before entering the classroom) is tying shoes.
"Ms. H!!!! Can you tie my shoe?" "Ohh Ms. H!! I need help tying my shoe too."
Tying a shoe is a basic, life-long skill. But most of my students haven't had the opportunity to learn how to do this at home. As a teacher, it is my role to help my students become autonomous individuals. Next week I will take the time and do a "tying shoe" lesson.
Build a tee pee
Come inside
Close it tight so we can hide
Over the mountain
And around we go
Here's my arrow
And here's my bow!
