    SELF-HELP SKILLS
    Please continue to help your  children to practice hanging their coat on a hanger & zipping the coat on the hanger so that is does not fall off the hanger.  We do this everyday here at school, and it is difficult for some who may need extra practice.  

     Please make sure to ask your child daily about what we have been learning.  I am sure they would love to tell you all about it!
