Let The Skills Begin

In your child's folder this week, you will find a name writing practice sheet.  This is an easy practice sheet for the children to use to learn to write their names.  (The blocks help us understand letter proportion and spacing.)  I know we are only in preschool, but good habits are solid skills for school and the earlier we start the easier it is for our boys and girls.  Although we are focusing on one letter of the alphabet each week, we are beginning to understand the importance of a capital letter.  If your child tells you that we "salute" a capital letter, they are exactly right.  Capital letters are used in our classroom for important names and places. It may sound a little bit crazy, but most of us will be mastering writing our first and last names before the end of the year.   Our class did a super job with their name practice this week and we are on our way to kindergarten!!!!!
