The activities in these areas are essential in the direct development of order,
coordination, concentration and independence. The indirect aim of the Practical
Life activities is to prepare the children for academic readiness.
Practical Life activities encompass three (3) basic areas:
- Care of self independence in activities of daily living.
(examples: tying, pouring, and sewing)
- Care of environment.
(examples: sweeping, dusting, polishing, watering plants).
- Development of social etiquette and skills.
(examples: practicing grace and courtesy, practicing cooperative group skills, problem solving).
"The truly educated individual continues to learn long after the years spent in
the classroom because of a motivation and love of learning"
