EXERCISE STUDY AND WINTER ACTIVITIES

Our home living center has turned into a fitness center.

The students had fun building their name snowman! I gave them snowballs with letters of their name in random order. They had to put them in order correctly and glue them to their paper. Knowledge of letters and words is an important component of literacy. The idea that written words are composed of letters that represent sounds is called the alphabetic principle. Children's understanding of the alphabetic principle is a predictor of future reading success.

Tearing paper might not seem like a big workout, but it helps children strengthen their hands and fingers, enhances hand-eye coordination, fosters bilateral coordination, supports pincer grasp development, and encourages creativity and self-expression.
