Remember When I

By Katie

I remember when my teacher taught me to tie my shoes. It all started when I went to school. She said that we would learn to tie our shoes today. Then she said,'' But first we are going to say the alphabet''.

So we started to say the alphabet. A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J…ect. Then after all that was done she instructed us to get into a line. Once that was done she told us to untie our shoes. Then she told us she will tie one shoelace and we have to tie the other shoe. So she went around and tied just one of our shoes. After she did that she told us to try and tie our shoes.

So I bent over and tried to tie my shoes. I couldn't. We had this little play area and she told everyone that was successful to go and play. When she showed us the steps I thought I understood and could do it. Then when I tried I still couldn't.

Then at the end of the day my shoe was still untied. I bent over and tied my shoe. And without realization of it I was successful. I really thought it was kind of funny. It was like she knew that if she didn't tie my shoelace that I would do it.
