How Will They Learn to Write?
So many people ask if we don’t TEACH preschoolers how to write when will they learn?
Think about when a child goes to kindergarten. The complaints that are usually voiced by teachers are that children can’t sit still or they can’t open milk 🫣 or they lack maturity and social skills. Rarely do you ever hear them say – they just can’t write.
These skills – fine motor – can’t be taught. It can only be practiced as a child’s small muscles are ready .
A favorite activity we do here to help build small motor muscles is make chandeliers. It’s a fun way to work the muscles used for writing and add Beaty and community to our room.
This is one of my favorites. I think it’s 3 or 4 years old
This is the one we started today.
I waited a semester to start our chandelier project because we have so many young friends. They just were not ready. When you ask a child to do something that they don’t have the skills for all they experience is frustration. I want our children to feel success.
I think we have a pretty good start. I made our base smaller since we started late. I can’t wait to see this beauty when it’s finished.
