60: Fine Motor Friday

We are 1/3 of the way done with our school year!

Time always seems to speed up after Halloween 

and now we are approaching Thanksgiving break 

in a week. 

It was Zero Day,

so I wanted to do something fun,

and academic.

So we worked on letter formation

using popsicle sticks.

We made straight line letters first.

Then as an added treat for Day 60,

we used Twizzlers Pull-N-Peel Cherry Licorice.

Students had to pull apart the thin strands (fine motor)

and used the pieces to make the curved letters.

We cleaned hands first,

so they could eat their strands after.

Kids need to work with different types of materials

and I'm always looking...

Today, I am grateful to all the doctors, scientists, researchers, 

trial volunteers (adults and children, and their parents)

for creating a vaccination in record time,

so that we could try to get back to "normal,"

even a new normal.
