Adam came home from school with these pictures yesterday.

I’m glad I’m not a bear.

I’m not sure who wrote the captions – I’m guessing Adam wrote the “I” on each sheet and his teacher (or a classroom aide or volunteer) wrote the rest. You can sort of see though, that at his school they use the D’Nealian style of writing.

It’s not much different than the traditional style of printing, the letters have some extra loops and tails. It’s supposed to make it easier for them to transition into cursive writing.

I’m totally on board with this. I know some schools are no longer teaching cursive and I’m glad that’s not the case in our district.
