In addition to learning how to hold a pencil and practice handwriting on paper, children have opportunities for more kinesthetic way. This week, students are working on proper letter formation through sky writing, floor writing, white boards, gel boards, and yoga mats. Most students have developed a habit of starting their letters from the bottom. During our handwriting time, we are trying to break this habit and learn the proper way of writing each letter - top to bottom. This fluid motion helps children in 2nd and 3rd grade to develop writing fluency. If you'd like materials on how to form each letter and to help your child at home, please inquire with me and I can send these home. INQUIRE with your child what they like the best - white boards, gel boards, or yoga mats!
