I teach my students each year about the "Handwriting House". All of the letters have a special place in the house. I teach them this little poem:
Then, I print the cards on cardstock and send them home as bookmarks! They even like to teach their parents a thing or two about handwriting. Perhaps I should share this with my husband?
No, we are not learning our ABC's in 1st grade, but we ARE learning how to properly form our letters. I am very strict with my students with handwriting starting on day 1. It helps them make it a habit. If I can't read their writing, we will both struggle all year! They end up feeling so proud about their handwriting. Of course the Handwriting Fairy helps, too. ;)

How cute is that?! We use the Handwriting Without Tears program. It's got lots of little songs.

This is the cutest. My third graders(!)
are still struggling with this concept. This is such a creative way of remembering. Thank you!
I like it! I use something very similar to this. I use letters in the attic, main floor and basement :)
I'm glad it works for your kiddos too!
Have a great week,

Haha! I'm sure Brian would appreciate the bookmark! :)
Awesome job, Rachelle!
This is a great idea - a really good way for students to remember the concept.
Definitely could have used this last year! My husband could use it too!

What a brilliant idea. We use fundations. I am going to make one to go with our writing. My class will love this and hopefully so will the parents.
Here's to great writers.

This is such a valuable resource for teachers to train students in improving their handwriting! Students with a bad handwriting discuss- I pay for doing my essay by DomyessayUK.com, so I do not have to worry about my handwriting!
