I teach them to tuck the laces inside too. :)<br /><br />Ms. M<br /><a href="http://msk1ell.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Ms.M's Blog</a><br /><a href="http://ateachersplan.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">A Teacher's Plan</a>Ms.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03426159534525251722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6825095016459251468.post-83660287381518177372011-08-27T09:39:34.715-07:002011-08-27T09:39:34.715-07:00The most interesting part is they will problem sol...The most interesting part is they will problem solve this one. I see them do things such as tuck them in, tie the shoelaces themselves and sometimes asking the custodian to tie them (which makes me chuckle every time). I think responsibility starts in two places; their shoes and their library books.

"How can MY daughter go to first grade if YOU did not teach her to tie her shoes!!!!"<br />I kindly told her that we would support any shoe-tying attempts, shoelace tying is not a first grade requirement and that kids learn to tie shoes at different times, just like riding a bike.Amy Mchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06679517594981579142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6825095016459251468.post-41334512020171340342011-08-27T02:39:32.449-07:002011-08-27T02:39:32.449-07:00T is started second grade, and he still cant tie h...T is started second grade, and he still cant tie his shoes. His old school expected him to know before he entered kindergarten, I tried working with him but he would just get sooo frustrated with it, it never worked out. We're trying it again, and this time around its going much better, but he would still rather take the lazy way out :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
