Peterson Directed Handwriting Contest!
This will be at the top of my blog until the end of the contest. Scroll down for new blog entries between now and January 12.
I'm giving away the Peterson Directed Handwriting curriculum we tested. I have 3 levels and I'd love to see them go to 3 different families, so others can try this curriculum with their families, as well.
I have level K, 2, and 4. Although when we received it, we chose to use them with the 2nd, 4th, and 8th graders instead. The 8th grader tested the 4th-8th grade cursive curriculum, because I knew my 4th grader wasn't ready for that. The 4th grader tested the 2nd grade level which transitions into cursive. My 2nd grader tested the K level for me, because he can always use the extra practice.
Level K set includes:
- a 3 sided fat pencil (not the ones sold by Peterson's because we sharpened and used those),
- the Animated Letter Cards cd-rom,
- 2 position guides for your desk tops,
- Get Ready for Writing and Reading: Lessons Plans for Teachers and Parents of Preschoolers and Kindergarteners,
- the ABC's and 123's workbook. (This workbook was used, but we are erasing the pencil marks. It can still be used for finger tracing, which is an important element of Peterson Directed Handwriting. You could choose to use it for writing practice as well, or you can just use it to get an idea of the program and order a new one for yourself.)
Level 2 set includes:
- a three-sided finger positioning black pencil (normal thickness)
- We Write to Read Teacher Handbook, Grade 2
- 2 position guides for your desk tops
- We Write To Read Level Two: Getting Ready for Cursive student booklet (not written in, used for finger tracing, and then lessons are written on separate paper)
Level 4 set includes:
- a Peterson Directed Handwriting, hand-positioning erasable ink pen
- We Write To Read Teacher Handbook, Grades 4-8: Advanced Cursive Handwriting
- 2 position guides for your desktops
- We Write To Read Level Four: Learning To Work With Adult Tools (not written in, used for finger tracing, and then lessons are written on separate paper)
Because Level 2 and 4 are not used for tracing or writing in, they are completely reusable with future students.
Each set will also come with something for the Mommy/Teacher. The Mom gift in each package includes:
- Mrs. Grossman's primary-colored party balloons and confetti scrapbook stickers (several sheets)
- 1 Christmas poinsettia tea towel
- 1 pine tree finger towel
- 1 Colonial at Home Fresh Strawberry Rhubarb tea candle
- 1 de-luxe brand Aloe Vera and Glycerin Foaming Body Scrub (each a different scent)
- 1 Burt's Bees product (either a tin of hand salve, a tin of lip balm, or a small jar of hand creme)
- 1 Recycled Ideas note card made of handmade paper with seeds embedded which can be planted to grow flowers
Because of the holidays, I'm going to let this be a longer contest, ending three weeks from today, on January 12, 2009.
