We will continue to work on our "clock" letters. Each letter starts at "2 on the clock" goes up to the midpoint, down to the baseline, and back up. Students will be familiar hearing those words while writing. Please be sure that you are watching your child hold their pencil and help them use this grip. Make sure students are starting at "2" and touching the baseline. Persistent practice of this will ensure that they continue this rhythm throughout the year. Also please help your child ensure that they are holding their pencil the correct way. I will attach a picture for reference. Again if you have questions please do not hesitate to ask!

Start with the thumb on the bottom and the middle finger just above. These two fingers should form a "C" shape where the paint stops on the pencil.

The pointer finger then gently rests on the pencil. This takes some getting used to but with continually practice it becomes second nature.
