Re: Cursive

I think every student should leave 4th grade with solid handwriting skills
-- take your pick, Palmer cursive or DeNealian -- I still had write
important thank you notes, very personal letters, my journal, and more. I had a
wonderful time 20 years ago learning calligraphy with my daughter in a
parent-child art class. She would not have been able to learn that skill
without decent handwriting as a beginning. I think there is time to become
adept at keyboarding and learn to write skillfully by hand! Students at
Viewpoint do.
All best,
