The art of cursive writing is a valuable skill that enhances students' handwriting, fosters creativity, and promotes fine motor development. In our increasingly digital world, cursive writing can also serve as an engaging and hands-on way to help students develop patience, concentration, and attention to detail. 

The primary objective of the Cursive Club is to provide students with a structured, yet enjoyable, introduction to cursive handwriting. Through fun, interactive lessons, activities, and challenges, students will:

• Learn the fundamentals of cursive writing, including proper letter formation, spacing, and flow.

• Develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.

• Gain confidence and a sense of accomplishment and pride in their work.

• Express themselves in creative and unique ways.

• Build patience, concentration and perseverance.

The Cursive Club will meet once a week for a 45-minute session. Each session will consist of the following components:

• Introduction to individual letters and their proper formation.

• Guided Practice Time

Students will engage in individual practice exercises, such as tracing cursive letters, practicing words, or writing short sentences. Teachers will provide personalized feedback to help students improve.

There will  also be time for:

• Cursive Writing Competitions (Optional)-, the club will host an optional  friendly "Cursive Challenge," where students can showcase their best cursive writing. Recognition will be given for improvement, creativity, and neatness, fostering a sense of accomplishment.

• Creative Cursive Challenge-Students will participate in a cumulative cursive writing challenge. This could include writing out favorite quotes, creating a cursive greeting card etc.

• Continued practice at home in workbook after session has been completed.

This winter, we are excited to offer Fuel Your Fun!

There are so many ways to get your heart pumping, and cardio should be a key part of everyone’s healthy lifestyle. Fortunately for everyone, cardio isn’t a “one-size-fits-all” choice. Cardiovascular exercise, strengthening moves and flexibility poses mixed with good nutrition options not only boosts mood but also increases overall happiness…..remember those feel-good endorphins?

Your body needs energy and nutrients like carbohydrates, fats, minerals, proteins, vitamins, and water. 

Expanding your food selection (you might find something tasty here that you really like)

Join Ms. Battinelli and Mr. Romeo on Wednesday afternoons, where we will test out healthy food choices and explain how they help your body function at its best. We’ll be sampling a variety of nutritious snacks, including fruit and berry smoothies, popcorn, veggie pita pockets with hummus, turkey and avocado roll-ups, nut butter and banana quesadillas, cheese and crackers, go-gurts and chocolate milk.

For the second half of the class we’ll head to the gym for fun activities and workouts.
