My Project

With the continued focus of students on personal devices, we have noticed there has been a decline in neat penmanship and focus on letter formation.

I would like to offer my students a way to practice writing while still making it fun and creative.

We can do that through calligraphy. With the materials from this project, students will have access to special calligraphy pens that will help them focus on forming letters in a engaging manner.

A class set of calligraphy pens will help them slow down and focus on forming clear, careful letters in their journals and art projects. Practicing with these pens will build their fine motor skills while encouraging pride in their work. Thank you for helping our classroom develop neat handwriting and creative confidence!
