So, I decided I needed a plan to motivate the kids to learn to tie their own shoes. Enter our current obsession - Pete the Cat! Capitalizing on my class's love for all things Pete, I came up with Pete's Shoe Tying Club. I'm going to send home a note from Pete inviting all of the kids to practice tying their shoe at home so they can join his club. When the kids can show me that they can tie their own shoes, they will become a card-carrying member of Pete's Club! A certificate with their name will go up on the Pete's Club wall, they will get a membership badge and they will get to choose a new pair of fancy shoelaces. I hope Pete will be the champion I need him to be so I can sing, "I love your tied shoes, I love your tied shoes..." If you think Pete can help you out with the Curse of the Untied Shoes, grab your kit below.
If you have any tips to help my kiddos learn to tie their shoes, please leave a comment to help me out!
Have a great night!
I love this idea! I have one student who can tie her shoes but usually I don't have any. We love Pete the cat in my class as well so I will definitely be using this idea. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! I was thinking about doing something like this with my kinders. Thank you so much for posting! :o)
ReplyDeleteI can usually find a student or two who can tie shoes and I send all the untied shoes their way! Sometimes I think it is the kind of shoelace (nylon sparkly ones untie all day long! ) and I feel like buying replacements for those kids!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this idea... all kindergarteners would want to try to get into this club! I also tell parents to double knot their new shoe tiers shoes.. they never stay tied!
ReplyDeleteThis is great. Thanks for sharing

Even though your goal is just to lose 5 pounds in a week,
ReplyDeleteyou should be strict with what you do so as not to inadvertently undo all your hard
work for vegetarian weight loss. In fact, I always suggest to those overweight vegetarians to keep to
a max of 4 pounds a week so you won't suffer loose skin post weight loss. Many people don't have the time to weight themselves
every day, but checking the scale on a regular basis can definitely help when you're working to lose weight and keep it off.

Aside from the obvious difficulties of pitching so brilliantly in such a high pressure situation, Larsen's feat is even more impressive when one considers that the Dodgers had four future Hall of Famers in their lineup: Duke Snider, Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella and Pee Wee Reese. For the purposes of this game, a "set" is at least three cards of equal value such as three Jacks or three fours and a "sequence" is made up of at least four cards that are of the same suit and run sequentially such as three, four, five, and six of spades.
