Name Handwriting for Back to School

Name Handwriting for Back to School:

Name Handwriting for Back to School: As a kindergarten teacher, I know the importance of  handwriting for children.  At the beginning of the year, my class explores letters, sounds, and numbers.  We devote a lot of time to their formation and writing.  Did you know the first letter that children learn best is the first letter of their first name?  I love to bring novelty to their handwriting with a variety of markers and pencils, but their favorite?  Mr. Sketch Smelly markers!

Did you know there are Mr. Sketch Scented Gel Crayons?  My kids had the best time using them with their first letter name pages! These pages are perfect for the  beginning of the year, Pre-K to First Grade.  You can find them on Teachers Pay Teachers. Have kids find the page that matches the first letter of their name and let them outline the letters, using Mr Sketch Scented Markers or Gel Crayons!   In addition to the handwriting practice, I joined the Go Teach! Handwriting Community on Facebook.   The group shares a wealth of ideas for educators and is an amazing community!

I also have a full name freebie for name writing HERE.

 

Thank you Go teach! Handwriting for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own.

    Truly said that the first word a child writes is his or her name. I never ever thought of such a creative way to teach how to write your name. Lovely concept and love those freebies.
