Handwriting

In Handwriting we are learning to form letters and numbers correctly We know that we are successful when we: * Use the correct starting point * Make the letters sit on the line or have the tail go under the line * Use finger spacing. Some of the ways we learn how to write letters and numbers correctly * Use chalk on the concrete * Use our whiteboard and whiteboard pen * Use shaving foam and our fingers * Use the sand tray * Use our handwriting books.
