Feb142017

President's Day will soon be here and there is a 4th grader in our house who loves handwriting practice (no, he really does!) and also a 6th grader who can always use some cursive practice, so I decided to create some President's Day Handwriting Pages for both of them.  (Even though we don't use the D'Nealian font, I know some of you all do, so I included copies of those as well - and … [Continue reading...]
