Number Writing

We have started writing numbers this week in math!  Important things to remember with handwriting:

• All numbers and letter start from the top (we don't make numbers/letters bottom up).  If your child already has a habit of doing this, encourage them to start from the top but it is a hard one to fix! :) 
• Practice, practice, practice!  

Below is a fun song we learned for making numbers.  Today we just learned 0-3.  We say these chants as we practice making them in the air/on our papers. 

Click here to download a great number writing printable to practice at home!   I will send one home with each child tonight for extra practice.  Students who complete it and return it will earn a sticker for their chart! :) Thank you for your support at home!

Great Home Resource for Handwriting (and more!)

The website Soft Schools has all sorts of great printables for home listed by subject.  I like to use this site particularly for handwriting.

If you click on this link, it will take you to part of the page where you can create your own handwriting worksheets ( I like to do these for writing first names and any particular letters/numbers kids are struggling with).

When writing numbers and letters, please encourage your child to start from the TOP.  I am always happy to send home extra handwriting practice so please let me know!
