Notes For Parents
While having fun in the sun, don't forget to have your child read and practice their cursive handwriting over the summer!! To make it fun, you and your child can:
- Help write a grocery list
- Send a penpal letter to a friend or classmate
- Pretend to write a check--your local bank has student checks to practice on
- Write an essay about your latest vacation
- Practice basic cursive writing---first and last name 10 times each
Whatever you do this summer, incorporate cursive writing into your child's daily activities. When students are out of school, they forget what they learn. If you make the activities fun, your child will enjoy writing and be ready for school in the fall.
Have a safe and happy summer vacation!!
Goals for the Year
