Cursive

I teach 4th grade and we don't have time in our schedule to actually teach handwriting. The kids have a workbook to practice, so I usually use that as my Do Now. The kids learn cursive in 3rd grade and honestly I don't| care what they write when they come to my class, but I know our 5th grade teachers are very strict about it. Funny story that goes with this: 3 years ago, my first year teaching I assummed that the kids knew and wrote in cursive in 4th grade. On the first day of school I put some instructions on the board so when the kids came in they could get into the normal routine right away. Some | |
of the kids, after my prompt began putting their backpacks in the closet and started the morning task. One boy just sat there and when I asked him if anything was wrong he said, "Miss C, can you write on the board in English, I can't read that"
