Each week, students will watch a video posted in the classroom on every Tuesday to receive their lesson. A document for practice will also be attached you can print out with that week’s lessons. Each student will complete the worksheets the day they watch the video, then continue each following day with the practice assigned to them each day until the next class day. Students will submit a sample of their work at the end of each week by either taking a picture of 1 page of their practice or scan 1 page of their practice and submit a private message to the teacher before the next class. The teacher will post a message for each student asking for their homework each week. This message will appear in the classroom and the private message for each student. Each week students will be asked to post a copy of their best work for the week under a post in the classroom to share with their classmates. This will provide an opportunity for students to see each other’s work. Students will be instructed to post a positive comment on 1 student's work to help encourage them.Assessment

The teacher will provide feedback each week on the students' work.Class Experience
Cursive is quickly becoming a lost art. Student are not learning cursive handwriting as much in schools, but in order for students to be able to read cursive writing in real life situations, they will need to learn to write it first. This is a self paced class, There is NO LIVE CLASSES. Each week, students will watch a video posted in the classroom to receive their lesson. A document for practice will also be attached you can print out with that week’s lessons. Each student will complete the worksheets the day they watch the video, then continue each following day with the practice assigned to them each day until the next class day.

The teacher will post a message for each student asking for their homework each week. This message will appear in the classroom and the private message for each student. Students will also be instructed at the end of each week to post a copy of their best work for the week in the classroom to share with their classmates under a post made by the teacher. This will provide an opportunity for students to share with each other and help encourage each in their road to learning cursive. Each student will be encourage to looks at each others work and give positive feedback. Any negative posts made will not be tolerated and deleted. Each week we will cover 6-8 letters of the alphabet, with some practice words using letters learned each week. Students will be given step by step instructions on how to write each letter and words in the weekly videos, the teacher will be using screen sharing to demonstrate onscreen. Students will be expected to practice at home each week. If students are unable to practice each week, parents will not see improvement in their handwriting. Practice sentence sheets will be provided to students to print out if they like, in the the assignment posted in the classroom each week. Students need to use the type of 3 lined paper as shown in each week's assignments so they are sure to be forming capital and lowercase letters properly. Parents can either print out the provided worksheets for practice or purchase a tablet of paper for their student with this type of 3 lined paper in it. Each week builds on the next so students will need to attend each week of classes. By the end of this class if students have done all that has been asked of them from the teacher. Students will be able to read and write cursive.

Other Details
Parental Guidance
Parents should ensure the students are sitting at a table or desk, feet on the floor and room for their arms to rest on the table as they write their letters/sentences. This will help with proper form and proper letter forming. The teacher will go over this in the first video in the first class.
Parents should ensure their students are completing and turning in the completed assignments, offering help to post these to the teacher.
Supply List
Paper, Pencil to practice handwriting. I recommend a notebook to keep all papers together. Students need to use the type of 3 lined paper as shown in each week's assignments so they are sure to be forming capital and lowercase letters properly. Parents can either print out the provided worksheets for practice or purchase a tablet of paper for their student with this type of 3 lined paper in it.
