The Cutting Song {Scissors Grip}
We all know how important scissors skills are for kids - they get to build their hand muscles (which will also help them brush their teeth, write, color, comb their hair...do anything that requires fine motor skills) and improve their hand-eye coordination.

Teaching style
I prefer the child-centered approach to teaching: children learn better if they actively participate in the learning process, not just by observing what the teacher is doing.
