For kindergarteners, mastering this skill goes far beyond simply keeping their shoes secure\u2014it helps build independence, confidence, and fine motor skills that support other areas of learning and growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When children learn to tie their shoes, they practice hand-eye coordination, dexterity, and bilateral coordination\u2014using both hands together in a coordinated way. These same skills are essential for writing, drawing, and self-care tasks like buttoning clothes or zipping up jackets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tying shoelaces also teaches patience and perseverance. It often takes time and practice to get it right, but each small success boosts a child\u2019s self-esteem and sense of accomplishment. Being able to say, \u201cI can do it by myself!\u201d encourages independence and responsibility\u2014important steps in preparing for more complex challenges at school and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the end, tying shoelaces is more than a practical skill\u2014it\u2019s a symbol of growing up. Every loop and knot reminds children that they are capable, resourceful, and ready to take the next step forward\u2014literally!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are challenging our K2 and K3 students to the Shoe Tying Contest!&nbsp; Our kids will have the rest of the school year to show their ability to tie their tennis shoes. When they have mastered this skill, they can show Miss Carlie, their teacher, and classmates how well they are doing it. Every Monday, we will have a special ceremony for the students who have mastered the art of shoe tying. Those students will receive a certification and a medal for this accomplishment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our first shoelace winner of this school year is Lissanda Vel\u00e1zquez from K3B!\u00a0 Congratulations!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villaeducativa.edu.mx\/newspaper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20251002_080151.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-145049\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villaeducativa.edu.mx\/newspaper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20251002_080151.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.villaeducativa.edu.mx\/newspaper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20251002_080151-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villaeducativa.edu.mx\/newspaper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20251003_132304.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-145050\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villaeducativa.edu.mx\/newspaper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20251003_132304.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.villaeducativa.edu.mx\/newspaper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20251003_132304-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Concurso y ceremonia de agujetas<\/strong><br>Aprender a atarse las agujetas es un peque\u00f1o pero significativo logro en el desarrollo de un ni\u00f1o. Para los ni\u00f1os de preescolar, dominar esta habilidad va mucho m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de simplemente mantener sus zapatos bien sujetos: ayuda a construir independencia, confianza y habilidades motoras finas que apoyan otras \u00e1reas de aprendizaje y crecimiento.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Cuando los ni\u00f1os aprenden a atarse los zapatos, practican la coordinaci\u00f3n ojo-mano, la destreza y la coordinaci\u00f3n bilateral, es decir, usar ambas manos de manera coordinada. Estas mismas habilidades son esenciales para escribir, dibujar y realizar tareas de autocuidado, como abotonarse la ropa o subir el cierre de una chaqueta.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Atarse las agujetas tambi\u00e9n ense\u00f1a paciencia y perseverancia. A menudo requiere tiempo y pr\u00e1ctica para hacerlo correctamente, pero cada peque\u00f1o \u00e9xito fortalece la autoestima del ni\u00f1o y su sentido de logro. Poder decir \u201c\u00a1Yo puedo hacerlo solo!\u201d fomenta la independencia y la responsabilidad, pasos importantes para prepararse ante desaf\u00edos m\u00e1s complejos en la escuela y en la vida.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Al final, atarse las agujetas es mucho m\u00e1s que una habilidad pr\u00e1ctica: es un s\u00edmbolo de crecimiento. Cada lazo y cada nudo recuerdan a los ni\u00f1os que son capaces, ingeniosos y est\u00e1n listos para dar el siguiente paso\u2014\u00a1literal y figuradamente!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u00a1Estamos desafiando a nuestros estudiantes de K2 y K3 al concurso de atado de agujetas!\u00a0 Nuestros ni\u00f1os tendr\u00e1n el resto del a\u00f1o escolar para demostrar su habilidad para atarse los tenis. Cuando la dominen, podr\u00e1n mostrarle a Miss Carlie, a su maestra y a sus compa\u00f1eros lo bien que lo est\u00e1n haciendo. Todos los lunes tendremos una ceremonia especial para los estudiantes que dominan este arte.
