Hands-off to good writing! That is my theme for my classroom this coming school year. It is very important for children to learn how to write properly and recognize the letters of the alphabet.
I am a first year teacher in the Indianapolis Public Schools.I teacher Kindergarten and I am expecting to have 25-30 children in my classroom.
Entering school for the first time can be very hard on children. Many of the children that come to our school as kindergarteners do not have previous school experience. It is so important at an early age that they learn to write which includes simple motor skills such as holding the pencil correctly. That is why I would like to have as many writing resources as possible.
Many of the resources would be used daily and would be a great asset to the classroom. It is important for children not only to know the letters of the alphabet but also the correct way to write the letters.
Research shows that if children do not know how to write letters correctly, then they will have problems in the future writing manuscript and cursive. I would like to make sure that my children have the resources that they need to become successful writers.
There are many resources that will help my children become successful writers. One of the resources are the Grab and Write Briefcases. These briefcases are complete sets of writing activities that will help with motor skills and the writing letters and words that they will be working on such as sight words. Other resources include journals, writing paper, letter stamps, alphabet writing practice cards, rubbing plates and an electronic handwriting tutor.
