This teacher needs your help!

Mrs. Meneses from Hartford, CT is requesting art supplies through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Learning Proper Handwriting Is a Useful and Necessary Skill!

Help me give my students the correct practice materials to help them to learn proper handwriting skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Meneses's classroom raised $241

This project is fully funded

My Project

The items I am requesting are important to give me the tools to teach my students proper handwriting practice in both cursive and manuscript letter writing. When a child learns the proper way to write by hand, they will enjoy writing rather than dreading it.

The children who have very poor writing skills usually dislike the writing process.

They tell me that their hand hurts, and they are tired. If we could give them the proper practice in forming letters in both manuscript and in cursive, things would improve. When they learn the proper way to form letters, students enjoy the writing process, and they also learn to develop a signature that is theirs only for signing important documents.
