Updates:  We’re starting something new! Handwriting grades begin this quarter. Please refer to the handwriting script on my homepage to review the proper letter formations as we teach them in class. Something to keep an eye on: all letters start from the top and move down from the top line or midpoint, not up from the baseline. Clock letters start at 2 on the clock. If you see formations that are incorrect, it’s ok to take a few minutes to practice! Practice makes progress!
