We have been learning about how to use a proper grip when holding a writing utensil.
First, we exercise our thumb and pointer finger.
Next, we sing a song to help us remember our grip;
My thumb is bent...
Pointer points to the tip...
Tall Man uses his side...
I tuck my last two fingers in and take them for a ride!
...And oh what a ride!
Right now we are coloring with vigor to learn the grip well. Soon we will be working on the basic forms
needed to make letters.
Watch this video if you would like to learn the song we sing in school.
(We say "Tall Man" instead of middle finger)!
