6B practiced writing their names properly during our fine motor time. We discussed that there are three lines that help guide us as we write. The top, middle, and bottom lines help us to make sure that our letters are in the proper place. Letters that are either too high or too low are referred to as "floaters" and "sinkers". Also, we discussed the concept of writing from left to right. We always start on the left when writing and reading.
Each child's name was dotted and then inserted into a plastic sleeve. This way, we were able to trace the proper formation of each letter using the dots as a guide. After tracing, the dry-erase marker was easily removed with a tissue and we were able to try again.
Great job 6B. I can't wait to check our sign-in sheet tomorrow. Practice makes perfect, and mistakes are OK! :)
