cursive in Kindergarten By Mrs. G

Wow, I have heard of some of the private schools in our area starting in Kindergarten, but not any of the public schools.

It sounds like your district needs to come up with a plan for these students who come to you without knowing how to write in cursive. I think it is an important skill for students to have.

I have noticed that because our teachers have less time to work on handwriting and cutting activities our students do not have the fine motor skills that they should have in the 5th grade. Their manuscript handwriting is horrible!!! It is amazing how much better most of their cursive handwriting is once we get them to use it.
