Landon R E A L L  Y wants to learn cursive now days. In kindergarten while all the kids were doing work he would finish his work quickly and would start making his own version of cursive letters. So this time while I have him for a whole summer I think I would just teach him to write cursive. He told me he wants to write books in cursive and cant wait to do it. He knows already several letters in cursive and how to connect them together and he has been doing it in the word "the" he knows how to connect h and e together. But i would rather him do all the work in print OR cursive and not combine 2 styles together. I know he really really really wants to learn cursive so here we come:

CURSIVE Practice #1

WRITING. For several days Landon has been working on this cute story. He is a pretty good speller and can write sentences. This time during summer I want to show him how he needs to organize his thoughts when he writes. He divides his story into 3 paragraphs.
Paragraph #1: Beginning of the story: Setting (time and place), Characters and their goal, Beginning of the Problem.
Paragraph #2: Middle of the story: Problem/Solution
Paragraph #3: Ending of the story:  how he wants his story to end.
