Ms. Alpert who is the school occupational therapist came to KC on Wednesday. She showed us how to hold a marker using the pincer grip.

We practice making circles. We learned that you need to start your letters at the top and move in a counter clockwise direction...it was a little tricky!

On Wednesday it was the 10th day of school!!! The Queen of Ten came for a special visit. She brought her Queen of Ten wand, which was made of five yellow Unifix cubes and five blue Unifix Cubes. The tricky thing about this wand was that it broke easily,and this was compounded by the fact that the Queen of Ten was very clumsy. We had to help the Queen put her wand back together again.
