Handwriting without Tears - The Handwriting Without Tears® curriculum draws from years of innovation and research to provide developmentally appropriate, multisensory tools and strategies for your classroom. The program follows research that demonstrates children learn more effectively by actively doing, with materials that address all styles of learning.

Our class has been using many parts of the Handwriting Without Tears curriculum this year and this week we started in our Letters and Numbers for Me printing books.  We focused on the Frog Jump Letters (F, E, D, P, B, R, M, N)  On Friday we did a review page which the students have brought home so they can teach you how to make your letters starting at the TOP.  I have been so impressed with how well they are doing in our whole group mini lessons and individual printing books!  Next week we will be moving on to Corner Capitals (letters that start in the top corner - H, K, L, U, V).  Encourage your child to use the words when printing their letters.
For example: F is Big line down, frog jump up, litlel line, little line
