Self-Help Skills: Folding of Clothes

I have been observing my students for quite sometime now each time they will take a shower and I noticed that many of them would still ALWAYS asked help from me in folding their clothes. It's okay to help and assist them but if it's all of them and they do it everyday then it's quite a headache. And so today, I took a few minutes of my lesson time to teach my kids how to fold their own clothes.

A general rule in teaching self-help skills is: DON'T DO THINGS FOR CHILDREN WHAT THEY CAN DO FOR THEMSELVES!

Lucas is just so happy of what he can do by himself!

Nice try Renette!

Good job Alyssa! :-)

Wow Bing Heng can do it!

That's wonderful Shannon!

It was a joy to see the kids apply what they learned right away because that day when they went to shower, they all folded their own clothes!

Thumbs up to my K1 and K2 kiddos! :-)
