They do several spelling and writing activities that help them to memorize and use these words. Students are given nightly homework. The nightly homework helps us practice our Unit words ans develops responsibility of returning work. Our Posttest will be at the end of the week. We use the D'Nealian handwriting method.
Students learn and use the manuscript or printing in our kindergarten through first grade.
The letters are formed with a continuous stroke, establishing a smooth flow to their writing. In the second semester of second grade, we learn cursive writing. We learn a few connecting strokes for the printing letters and students are writing cursive. The D'Nealian method continues through 8th grade. We also incorporate our English skills with our Spelling.
