The 3rd and 4th graders are making great progress with their cursive handwriting. By next week, we will have completed all of the lowercase letters and will begin on the capital letters. We are right on target for our switch to all cursive by the end of 1st Quarter in October.
Beginning next week, in line with a Diocesan initiative, all students in grades 3-8 will begin writing in black ink for all classwork and projects. (Exception: Math will continue to be done only in pencil.) Each student will need to bring 5+ black ballpoint pens on Monday. Felt tip pens or erasable pens are not allowed. For now, homework can be done in black pen or pencil (again, Math is pencil only.) After Christmas, black ink will be required on non-math homework also.
As we make the switch, the students will receive training in how to neatly cross out mistakes and other tips on using their pens.
