[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Especially in younger grades, they need to manipulate objects in space (ex: blocks), develop manual dexterity (ex: using a writing implement, learning cursive), and so on. They have their whole school careers to learn technology. It absolutely does not need to be done in elementary school, at the very least.[/quote] I was talking to a third grade teacher and she mentioned that she'd had so many issues this year with her students using scissors. She finally had to teach a mini lesson on how to use scissors. It occurred to her that her students were lacking fine motor control because they were spending less time developing manual dexterity.
