Each day, before students dive into writing workshop, they spend 5-10 minutes on their handwriting. Too often in first grade, students begin writing so fast, that they forget to slow down and think about letter formation. We strive for top-down letters, and find it helpful to continuously practice letters in isolation. We encourage this to carry over to their writing, and ask that you do the same at home.
