cutting

Physical Education

• The 6 year old student has developed fine motor skills by using scissors to cut along lines and shapes, improving hand-eye coordination.
• Through cutting activities, the student has improved bilateral coordination by using both hands simultaneously and in a coordinated manner.
• The activity has led to the development of spatial awareness as the student learns to manipulate and cut different shapes and sizes accurately.

Continued development in cutting can involve introducing more complex shapes and patterns to further challenge the student's fine motor skills. Additionally, incorporating cutting activities into arts and crafts projects can provide a creative outlet while continuing to strengthen fine motor skills.
