I'm currently working on the Math Group 4 video series, but after that I would like to spend some time working on a series about the development of the hand for writing. This should take us through Christmas. After that, I plan to begin a series on sentence analysis in January. Here are my goals for my series on hand development:

1. I want to make some videos on the "prepared adult" for the topic of sewing and show you how to embroider and give you some resources on how to sew some things for the classroom. This is essential for anyone who is or wants to go through AMI training, so I want to make some videos supporting people who need to gain more confidence in this area. Most training centers expect you to sew, even if you've never done it before, and I want everyone to be successful in their handmade materials. I also want to encourage all of you to incorporate more sewing into your classroom and homeschool environment if you haven't done that because it is great for hand development. I will show you some of the embroidery kits I've been working on and maybe we can work through one together. I plan to show stitch samplers and help you translate that into classroom projects.

2. I will show you my series of AMI primary sewing lessons from my album (and how to adapt them for toddler age). I've worked AMI toddler and we did do sewing with them as well. The A to I training program in AMI has a lot of handmade materials that revolve around sewing, so it's something to be aware of if you are thinking about going to training. Also, Keep in mind that this section of lessons reflects my AMI training center and these lessons can look different depending on your training center.

3. I want to demonstrate using the metal insets. I will work on a booklet for the metal insets that shows you an example of each lesson and that will be posted on Locals when we start this next series.
