Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Cursive writing is something I learned in the 4th grade. It was frustrating at first, but also beautiful, fun, and it made us feel "grown up."

At some point, schools stopped teaching cursive handwriting altogether.

Many of my students report wishing they were able to write in cursive. They want to have a nice signature for their driver's licenses. They want to have nice handwriting. While they could teach themselves this skill, it may seem daunting without any resources. Every year they ask and I figured this year I wanted to deliver. Thank you!
