Cut, cut, cut

Learning how to cut has been a focus recently. Some students are very good at cutting, while some would benefit from additional practice. We try to encourage a proper grip.

We’ve also been singing this song:

Open shut, open shut

That’s the way we cut, cut, cut.

Fingers on the bottom,

Thumb on top,

Do not let the paper drop.

Open and shut, open and shut,

That’s the way we cut, cut, cut!

Many of our students practiced their scissor skills by cutting out the long twirly tail of a ghost.

We also did some fun practice, and their imaginations helped to turn the strips into crowns.

We gave them scissors and some flyers, and let them cut all they wanted!
