We had class with Mrs. Goldberg today!  We worked on the fine motor skill of tearing to make a sweet Valentine.  Fine motor movements involve the coordination of small muscles in the hands and fingers. Tearing paper is an amazing fine motor activity for kids. Tearing paper requires strength and endurance of the small muscles in the hand. These intrinsic muscles are important in so many fine motor skills, including handwriting and coloring,  manipulating pegs, cutting, using a fork or spoon, threading beads, moving puzzle pieces, managing buttons and zippers and tying shoe laces
