What do you do when one of your kids comes to you with shoelaces tied in a hundred little knots that you cannot undo? And you're tired of breaking nails trying to?
You get out the Jaws of Life...otherwise known as a staple remover. Works like a charm!

I would give up a week of vacation for shoelaces that would JUST STAY TIED, though. (sigh) It's hard enough to get the children to the point where they can actually tie their own shoes properly, but I've yet to find a lace that will stay put without resorting to a glue gun.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! The sight word sheets are great. I shared them with my teacher friends. They are really useful and fun. My bilingual students loved them and enjoyed doing the activities. Thanks. I always look forward to seeing your activities. THANKS A MILLION!
Brilliant! I wish I'd known that about two months ago...I sometimes just resorted to saying "You'll just have to go with one shoe till lunch" (we eat in the classroom).
I'll definitely keep this in mind for next year!
