My Project

I created this project “Shoe Tying with Mrs. S” to gather some tools I can use to help my students learn to tie their shoes. I plan to set aside some time in our class to teach my students the life skill of tying shoes. I see kindergarten, first and second graders and many do not know how to go about tying their own shoes. I would love to be able to help them learn this very important skill.

I will use my students who already know this skill to be “helpers” to others.

That way everyone will be busy either learning or teaching.

Thank you in advance for thinking of my class and my kids who will be on their way to becoming experts at shoe tying!
