bunny ears

Today, we did a little practice tying shoe strings. W boy knows how to tie a knot, and today he attempted to do the bow tie or the "bunny ears" with much success. This is definitely a good little exercise for his fine motor skill which W boy could use more of. It is so cute to watch his little fingers trying to tie the knot.

Considering this is a skill most first graders either haven't been taught or are not able to do, I would say W boy did a wonderful job. I also taught J girl this when she was 4 though she really mastered this while W boy could still use some more practice. Every time, he does it, I'm not sure if it will come out or not but a lot of times it does. :) We only did it for about 10minutes so really did not take long for W to get fairly good at it.


See the bunny ear? got 2 now, cross them and make an X, and the come out of the hole .


almost there... Success!!

W boy also learned how to sing an Enki song called "Over the River" as well as the movements for the song. This is his picture drawing of what the song is all about. :) W boy also continues to practice a short song from Enki called "Pitter, patter, polt" which really works on crossing the mid lines and helps W boy to write letters like "s" and differentiating between "b" and "d" and etc.
