Tracing Activities

The Foundation font is a perfect font for our New Zealand Schools. Download it and use it to make Handwriting activities for your children.




One of the fonts is made of dots.
Make tracing activities for the children of the letters they need to practice.









One of my junior teachers that I work with finds Black and white images on Google Images and copies them onto her notebook software page.







Children use these as tracing activities, great for students who need to practise fine motor control.

Modelling Books

One of my schools use 'Modelling Books' for teaching writing. One of the teachers (Lisa Pearson from The Gardens) has started using her mimio notebook software as a modelling book.
If she needs to print out any pages she can and it is a record of the work they have done together.

She also uses the mimio notebook software to record the work she does in maths as well.
She has taken screen captures of the activities created in Kidspiration and used those as part of her maths lessons
