Cursive Handwriting

We have worked very hard and have finished learning all the cursive letters of the alphabet. We will continue to practice these letters throughout the year. After the first of they year the students will be required to take their spelling test in cursive. They are always welcome to print the spelling word next to the cursive word.

No More Reading Home Connections Newsletter

Lawndale's paper budget is slowly diminishing. In an effort to save paper, we will no longer be sending home the Harcourt Reading Home Connection. The weekly story, spelling and vocabulary will still be sent home in our weekly newsletter and will also be published on our blog. Please let us know if you would still like to receive a copy and we will send one home. Thanks!
