Name Writing Practice

We have done a lot of name writing practice in class recently and there are a few things we've noticed... Some students get very emotional when they can't write their name and sometimes it even causes a color change. Some students know how to write their name, but use all uppercase letters. Some students draw swirls and shapes and call them letters- their name. :) 

We wanted to remind you for your child to get the full 5 points for this Test. They need to write all the letters of their first name. Only the first letter us uppercase and all other letters are lowercase.  Unless noted by parents at Meet the Teacher or Open House.(We believe this only applies to one student in our class.) 

Reasons your child will lose points on this test: used all uppercase letters, used more uppercase letters than necessary, one or more letters were reversed or they omitted one or more letters. 

Your child will receive a grade of 0 if they do not attempt a letter within 30 seconds of being handed the test paper. 

If you have any questions, please write us an email or a note in your child's folder. If you have received notes from us on work your child has taken home or know your child really needs to practice name writing~ consider visiting this link and making name tracing sheets at home for your child. :) 

***Second Quarter's expectation is to write the first AND last name correctly. ***
