Cursive

We have started cursive in our classroom, yea!! I am having children tell me that they have been practicing at home. I would prefer that children NOT practice letters until we have learned them in class. Once a child gets used to forming a letter a certain way, it is hard to get them to form the letter the way that the handwriting book teaches. I know this sounds trivial, but it really makes a difference in correct letter formation. Around December, I will beging working with each child on the letters in their name so that they can THEN begin writing their name in cursive. Thanks for your understanding with this.
