Second - Third Grade Impact

In the second - third grade classrooms, the students learn both upper and lowercase cursive from our dcir.org website. They sit quietly, draw shapes that mimic cursive letters as they create illustrations out of those cursive shapes. On the lines below their drawings, they practice the letter shapes, flow and pressure used to make up the cursive alphabet. These students also practice daily sight word writing to increase their vocabulary and spelling knowledge. Weekly drawing lessons that tie to what the classroom teacher is already teaching are offered to engage, inspire as well as ignite interest in learning.
