Shape Cutting

Kindergarten artists this week reviewed shapes by identifying them, drawing them on paper (with provided shape tracers to make sure they were drawn large enough) and cut them out. We discussed what it means to arrange the shapes on their paper and to overlap (when one shape goes over the top of another just a little bit) shapes. This project was wonderful practice for the artists! Cutting is still challenging for some, but they are getting better each time! Please continue letting your child use scissors at home to practice their cutting skills. If you ask your child which finger goes in the small hole of the scissors they should be able to tell you their thumb along with 3 fingers in the larger hole of the scissors. :-)
