On Thursday (1/26), students in grades 1 and 2 will be learning how to tie their shoes in Physical Education class. The lessons will occur on day 4 for the next 4 weeks. Please encourage students to independently work on tying their own shoe laces. Please resist the temptation to tie the student's shoe laces and only offer guidance. The step-by-step instruction is attached for right-handed and left-handed shoe lace-tying. This information will be going home in the Wrap-Up. In addition, if a child does not have sneakers with laces, he/she will receive a shoe on cardstock paper with laces to take home and practice tying. We will have a Shoe-tying Olympics to culminate this challenge in March. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Dorothy or myself. Thank you for all of your help in assisting the students as they learn this important skill.
Thanks,
