last week, Miss Cairo's second graders where kind enough to help our class finger knit. They put themselves in pairs or small groups and patiently worked on their finger knitting skills. It is so interesting to watch children teach and learn from other children. Finger knitting isn't just fun, it also strengthens fine motor skills and focus. Thanks again Miss Cairo's class!
Before winter break we were very busy traveling on our imaginary airplane to learn about how people in other countries celebrate their holiday. We visited Mexico, Germany, Sweden, and Israel. We wrapped up the week by watching The Polar Express as a special treat. |
