My Project

This program, Handwriting Without Tears, shows the students the correct way to hold the pencil, a fun way to set your grip and form letters in a systematic way.

Having the right tools is just the beginning!

The small pencil and chalkboard frame has been the best idea I have ever used.

One advice I tell my Kindergarten parents are to keep a set of broken crayons. New ones are not as good as broken ones! They are able to practice gripping the crayon correctly building their fine motor muscles and apply it to the small pencil too!
