St. Columba School's Pre-k students created a fine motor skill journal. Their first activity was peeling and sticking letter stickers to their journals. The letter they started with had to be the first letter of their names. When they finished, they were able to decorate the cover of these journals with the remaining stickers. The class also sat on the floor to strengthen their trunk muscles. Mrs. John makes learning fun!
