More on the Pinterest success

Today I had time to properly start our handwriting and oh how buying a mask and tiara was the best $4 spent.

Before setting them the task of doing their handwriting they were told about how I would be looking for a Handwriting Hero and a Printing Princess. To become this they had to be silent because handwriting can be a quiet time for us to focus on our writing. They had to focus on their work doing it quickly but also really tidy.
So this week Filipe and Gina were awarded as being the Handwriting Hero and Printing Princess. They could wear the mask and tiara in class and had their photo taken along with a close up of their handwriting for our class blog. Can't wait for our next handwriting lesson...hopefully the novelty doesn't wear off too quickly!
