Learning Cursive

Featured Blogger: Evie
Welcome i’m Evie from 3Sp and this year third graders will be learning cursive! When the third graders got their cursive books in school 3Sp started with the lower case letters. The letters were h,l,e,f,b,k. Ms. Sprague taught us the four lines for cursive: the sky line, the plane line, the grass line, and last but not least the worm line.  After Ms.Sprague taught us that she showed us how to sky write. When you sky write you write in the air. Then we wrote our own letters and we kept doing the same thing over and over again. She said the letters we learn first will be loop letters and the letters h,e,l,f,b, are loop letters. Before we learned up and down letters, we took a break for a few days.  When we started up again we learned the first up and down letter. The letter was i.  We then learned the letters r,j, and p. Cursive is hard at first but after a while it gets easier. Soon third graders will be writing all in cursive but for that we have to learn how to connect the letters!
