Crazy for Cursive

We have begun cursive writing which has been a very exciting adventure for everyone! It has brought me back to my childhood and the kids are really putting a lot of effort in! Before the holiday break I explained that we could not begin cursive if their printing was not the best it could be. They really took on the challenge and I saw a great improvement in their handwriting. 

Our first unit in cursive was called  "clock climbers" we are using the program loops and other groups

Clock climbers are the letters that climb up the clock

The kids really did a great job. Here is a sample from Mia. 

We celebrated the end of clock climbers by writing on the tables with shaving cream!!! 

Next up are kite strings...

You can have your child practice these letters at home to improve their writing.
