The winter weather is here! With that comes heavy winter clothing. With heavy winter clothing comes misplaced mittens, hats and coats. Today we practiced how to keep track of our things. We began with learning the “preschool flip.” This helps the children put their coats on correctly themselves. Ask your preschooler to show you how to do this new fancy trick!
Once we come in the classroom, the children build their responsibility and independence by hanging their coats on their hooks. Showing the children that they can hang their coat using a “magic hook” inside their coat, the hood, or the top of their coat helps the children realize that there is a specific spot to help aid with hanging. Putting their backpacks over their coats helps to keep the coat where it belongs. Hats and mittens can be safely stowed in each child’s cubby.
