My mother was a teacher, and my handwriting was so illegible that I would have to sit at the kitchen table during summer and practice my handwriting for an hour each day. Did I mention all my friends were playing basketball on my driveway? If it were not for her instruction and the myriad of handwriting tips, tricks, and tools she provides to help me get better, this class may not exist.
The teacher of this class has a Masters' degree and embraces the digital world...until her devices run out of battery power. Then, she typically seeks the pencil stuck in her hair bun and anything that will take the message. Lived experiences and laughter lead this class, and the ability to break down complex topics into simple procedures. Reviews
