Handwriting​

We will be using the handwriting format below.   This will help your child be more successful to write the letters correctly.  We have been using the sky for letters that start up high, green grass for letters that start on the middle line, and dirt/soil for letters that hang below the line. We will also be following the handwriting letter of the week schedule.
