Cursive Connections

with Peggy Brown

Nov

Next session: November 18th, 2019

$19 More Info

Cursive is the art of connecting letters with a flourish. Once a basic skill taught to all students, it is now disappearing into oblivion. This class seeks to stop that downward spiral by providing reasons why this skill is important to the brain, self-esteem, note taking, letter-writing, family history research, etc. Opportunities in a workshop setting will take place to polish up old skills or learn basic cursive skills, depending on the needs of class participants. Participants will be encouraged to practice at home 5 minutes a day and possibly find a pen-pal to practice with.
