First Grade Super Heroes GRANDPARENTS’ DAY ON FRIDAY!

Shoelace Tying 101

If your child has not yet mastered the art of tying shoelaces, I would like to ask you to spend
some extra practice time at home with your child on this skill. Mastering this skill will give your
child confidence and independence and provide another layer of safety. Knowing how to tie
shoes is an important and necessary life skill. Thank you in advance for your help with this.
Below you will find a poem that tells one method of shoelace tying.
