Using Real Hammers




The Rainbows practiced their fine-motor skills today by using real hammers to pound golf tees. Nancy showed the children how to hold the hammer in one hand and keep their other hand away from the hammer so that they would not accidentally hit their hand. Rose, Molly, and Sophie each had a lot of focus and determination towards pounding the golf tees into the board. When asked if they knew what a hammer was used for, Molly replied, "To hammer a picture in the wall."  I also pointed out to Molly that her name is Molly Hammer and she is using a hammer. She then gave a great big smile!
