September 2007

Dear Friends,

It’s back to school! This is always an exciting time of year, but also one of many adjustments. You have new children in your classroom and so many things to teach.

We’re here to support you throughout the year as you help children master the handwriting skills they need.
 
This issue is dedicated to back to school preparation, readiness and transitions. For teachers, we have free downloads to help prepare you for lessons and back to school night. For beginners, we’ll focus on introducing handwriting skills with music and hands on lessons. For returning students, we’ll help you develop strong handwriting habits.

Everyone at Handwriting Without Tears® joins me in wishing you the very best this school year. We are here to help.

Enjoy this installment of the Frog Jump Gazette.
