With the children growing so fast I have decided that it is a good time to introduce a bit of handwriting to the art classes. Along with just learning vocab I would like them to start to recognize letters and write key words. This week we started with Farm Animals. I had the children match up animal names written on post- its to the pictures. They then got to make an animal farm and had to copy the names of each animal onto the back of their own picture. At this age children tend to know just the letters in their own name so as much practice as possible with all letters is encouraged. If they find it too hard writing for the first time you can start with having them trace over the letters you have written for them.
