Handwriting

​​In Kindergarten we use Handwriting Without Tears to teach children how to correctly form letters and numbers. When working with your child always start at the top to form the capital and lowercase letters! ​

Name Writing

Learning to write your name the "School Way" is another important skill in kindergarten. We teach students to only put a capital at the start of their first and last name with the rest lowercase letters. Have your child practice writing their first name! Towards the end of kindergarten they will then be taught to write their last name too! ​

 

 

 

Creative Writing

​Using finger spaces

Capital to start a sentence

Lowercase letters where needed

Punctuation to end a sentence
