We've been practicing tearing paper, and just two weeks ago, I heard some of the children say, "This is hard, I can't do it." Today, they all did an amazing job! Tearing paper isn't easy, but with practice, they are very close to mastering this skill.
As mentioned before, we work on our names daily! By the end of September, or even sooner, your child should be able to tell you the shape on their name plate, the color of the shape, the letters of their name, and the number of letters in their name!
