Pencil Grips!

Last week I talked to the students about penmanship and holding pencils correctly.  We would like to start cursive, but it's important that we are in good habits first with basic penmanship and grips on pencils.  I have included a link that demonstrates the best ways of holding a pencil, as well as tips to help kids who are having difficulty.  I told the kids that I have special pencil grips that they may borrow to help them hold a pencil correctly, so if you are noticing some difficulty at home, please encourage them to check in with me if I haven't already done so.  We want to break those habits before it's just way too hard to do it!
