Students always beg me to teach them cursive. I teach grades 10-12 and they don't usually beg for ANYTHING when it concerns learning but this really seems to fascinate them! I was taught cursive at elementary school in Holland but it never really "stuck" and today my handwriting is a strange mixture of regular and cursive. I have no idea how to teach it but I would love to learn how. Who knows-I might find some time to let them "play" with it for a lesson or so. So I would really appreciate any tips/handouts ________________________________ From: Ask_Etni <ask@xxxxxxxx> To: ETNI <etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, January 22, 2009 9:50:43 PM Subject: [etni] Fw: re: cursive...again ----- Original Message ----- From: "Leah Urso" <morahleah@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: [etni] Fw: cursive...again Whenever I get new 4th grade olim from America, they already know cursive. I guess it's just not commonly taught here in Israel. Leah Chinuch through music www.morahleahmusic.com Laurie wrote: > Thanks to those who commented on cursive.
