My Project

I am requesting cool colorful pens for my students to learn cursive with, so they will be able to sign their own signatures. With these colorful pens my students will be able to learn cursive and become ‘promoted’ to using new colorful pens once they have learned their to write all of the letters in the alphabet in cursive.

My students are going to love learning to write their signature using bright new colorful pens!

These pens will help them to get excited about their handwriting. I think that using pen will motivate them to learn cursive and how to sign their name. This will give my students the opportunity to learn how important cursive is when you become an adult and it’s time to sign your name!
