Handwriting Without Tears

In Kindergarten we use Handwriting Without Tears for our writing program. Morah will demonstrate at the board how to form a letter. We will "air write it" and then use our fun, interactive HWT CD to dance and form letters. We are currently learning what are called frog jump letters. This means when you start to form a letter you start and the top, make a big line straight down then jump back to the top where you started to form the rest of the letter. We have done letters E, F and D. Below you will see workbook centers, chalk boards, wooden pieces and writing boxes.
Wooden pieces are used to form the letter. Then we take out finger and trace the letter the correct way we learned how to write it.  

The children use chalk boards to form letters with chalk, form it again by using a wet sponge to erase the chalk letter then finally a dry towel to trace the letter a third time. It's a great review method. 

Below the children are using their workbooks to review what we learned. It's a great way for Morah to make sure they form their letters correctly. 

Below the children are using writing boxes which they copy the words on the word ring onto a dry/erase board.
