Color a Hellbender

Description of the coloring page: The hellbender (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis), also known as the hellbender salamander, is a species of aquatic giant salamander endemic to eastern North America. A member of the family Cryptobranchidae, hellbenders are the only members of the genus Cryptobranchus, and are joined only by one other genus of salamanders (Andrias, which contains the Japanese and Chinese giant salamanders) at the family level. These salamanders are much larger than any others in their range, they employ an unusual means of respiration (which involves cutaneous gas exchange through capillaries found in their dorsoventral skin folds), and they fill a particular niche—both as a predator and prey—in their ecosystems, which either they or their ancestors have occupied for around 65 million years. The species is listed as Near Threatened. Read more...

Practice the Extended Cursive Letters

Above, the Fourth Principle illustrated.

      Of the extended letters, some have loops and others have straight lines as continuants.

      The looped letters are formed of the Fourth Principle and one or more of the other Principles.

      Each of the long letters has its corresponding small letter; the lower part of the l is the i, the last part of the h and n are alike, and so on.

The Looped Letter Exercises should extend across the length of the page.

Speed Exercises may be used to teach combinations.

A Cursive Relay Race:  

       Teachers may organize relay races at the white board/chalk board between two groups of competing students. Write the original line on the board in advance. Then each student must copy it with speed and accuracy on a line provided below. Include as many lines as there are students on each team. After each student completes his line, he or she must hand the writing tool to their next team mate in order for him to accomplish the same. After the relay race has finished, the class should examine the writing on the board. It might be possible for one team to win for speed and the other for accuracy; both principles are equally important.

Practice Six Movement Exercises for Cursive

These exercises in pencil movements may be taught very early to students an entire year prior to learning cursive. Parents and/or teachers may actually guide the child's hand with their own as they learn to make the six movements while holding a crayon.

Each of these Exercises should extend across a sheet of drawing paper.

1. Practice the Sliding Movement. Move the hand and arm together across the paper making a series of lines similar to those shown in example 1. above.
2. Practice the Combined Movement. Move the hand and arm as before but make the slanting lines by extending and contracting the fingers. Example 2. above shows the Combined Movement.
3. Practice the Muscular Movement. An Exercise in which the muscle of the forearm is employed; the wrist is kept rigid. Example 3. above.
4. Practice Combined Movement. The upward strokes are made with this movement and the downward strokes with the finger. Example 4.
5. Practice Combined Movement. The upward strokes are made with this movement and the downward strokes with the finger. Example 5.
6. Practice the Triple Movement. The upward strokes are made with the sliding movement; the down strokes with the finger movement; and the ovals by rolling the arm lightly on the fleshy part of the forearm while moving the fingers independently.

Practice Small Cursive Letters

First teach students how to write their lower case cursive letters without the extensions. These letters include: v, w, u, r, m, n, i, x, o, e, c, a, and s.

All downward lines are on a slant of 52 degrees.

An Analysis of the letters is of great value in obtaining uniformity. Most of the letters consist of the following principles.

1.  A downward oblique straight line
2. An upward right curve. Slant 30 degrees.
3. An upward left curve. Slant 30 degrees.
4. The loop.
5. The direct oval.
6. An inverted oval.
7. A compound curve.

Each exercise to extend across the page. Students can stretch out the
spaces between each letter in order to emphasize the shapes each letter makes.

Cursive Writing Tips

Mr. Sykes

      The practice sheet in this collection about cursive writing contain a comprehensive System embracing all the instruction required to secure Legibility, Speed, and Symmetry in writing. The series of Movement Exercises which is given in combination with the letter forms add interest, to the lessons while developing a perfect command of the pen. To Teachers in Elementary Schools, the portion devoted to an analysis of the letters should be of great value, as being applicable to any style of writing. Teachers of Adult Classes are furnished with a method of instruction as attractive as it is thorough; candidates for the Civil Service appointments and home students can, with a little application, make a distinct improvement in their writing in a very short time. This System has stood the test of many years practice.

      Sit fairly erect with both feet flat on the ground the right foot a little in advance of the left. Your left side - should be nearest the desk and your body supported by your left arm, so that the right may have freedom of movement. The lower edge of the book must be parallel with the edge of the desk and well up so as to make room for the arm. Keep your book a little to your right, except for vertical writing when it should be directly in front of you. Avoid stiffness in position but don't lounge; the direction of the writing is largely governed by the attitude assumed.

slant

      Uniformity of Slant is indispensable to good writing and is the result of correct movement. An effective method of acquiring this object is to rule a number of lines at the required slant upon a loose sheet of paper and place it under the sheet written upon so that the lines may appear faintly through.

      Place the penholder at about one inch and a quarter from the pen point against the first joint of the second finger, and hold it there with the end of the thumb, letting it cross the first finger in front of the knuckle joint. Now rest the first finger lightly on top of the pen. Lower the third and fourth fingers bent," and use the surface of the nails as a sliding support for the hand. Let the wrist lie flat without touching the desk and mind that both points of the pen touch the paper evenly.

Holding the pen or pencil.

      The accompanying cut shows the arm in position for writing. (pictured below) Holding the pen as already described, the arm is slid lightly upon the desk in a natural position of about 6o¬∞ slant. The muscle in front of the elbow acts as a movable slide to carry the hand across the paper, the hand itself sliding at the same time on the surface of the nails of the third and fourth fingers. The same relative position of the hand and arm must be maintained throughout. Do not move the hand independently of the arm. Form the small letters by extending and contracting the fingers that hold the pen, moving the arm across simultaneously. The Capital letters are best made by means of the muscle of die forearm only, keeping the hand and fingers perfectly rigid.
