LOL I can quote her :)) ''always,finish...what you start.''

Not an excellent example of hand-eye coordination.

Didnt your college teach you about exactness of movement ?

In addition to this, the metal cup used to soop the "sharks-teeths" in it is too wide for the tray, I would rethink the choice of materials and how to present it.

The video is good. I wish I could see what is inside the bowls. Thank you for the video!

[chickalinah]

she said its sharks-teeth. thats what she's "spooning". lol

try rice or beans

Your hand coordination is too fast. You should go very slowly and not make a lot of noise when you pick up the bowl and put it down. Speaking as a Montessori teacher.

what are moter skills anyways??

[tatyland]

Motor skills are skills that have to do with muscle movements like, running, walking, jumping,etc. These are called gross motor skills. And with hand movements, like picking up a pencil or a pen, beads or anything that involves fingers. These are called fine motor skills. Hope it answered your question! Good luck!

since this is a practical life activity i know for a fact you should do these activities broken down into steps rather than at an adult's usual pace because children especially if they have just been introduced to this method of transferring may not know how to transfer this way without spilling anything (teeth)

Yes it is true... you always work left to right unless you are pouring which is right to left (unless the child is left handed then pouring is also from left to right!)

I'm enjoying your videos, but I am curios why you did not turn your tray before moving the teeth back. I have been trained to always work left to right to follow the pattern of reading (US Eng.).
