Practicing zippers

Please help encourage your child to independently zip zippers and provide time to independently practice putting on boots, coats, scarves, mitts and hats.  Winter is closely near and this would only benefit their dressing and undressing skills in a timely manner to enjoy the activities to follow.  Many children have difficulties with gloves and the spreadi of the fingers so please work with your child on putting on and taking off.  If possible, please  keep a spare pair of mittens in their backpack as it may take awhile for mitts to dry throughout the day.  We do not want to see our children feel cold.
