comment
Please encourage your children to form their letters the “kindergarten
way” when they are writing at home. Please find proper letter
formation examples in your Back-to-School-Night packets or ask
your child’s teacher if you do not have one.
Also, remind them to start their sentences with a capital letter and
end them with a punctuation mark.
Writing Ideas: school, friends, family, sports, hobbies, etc.
