While cursive writing is no longer in our curriculum, it is still an incredibly important skill. Many people still write in cursive, and if you don't know it, you may not be able to read their message. (Many of my students were unable to read my feedback to them because it was in cursive writing!)
If you don't have time (or interest) in learning to write the entire alphabet in cursive, you should still learn to sign your first and last name. There are a variety of times you will need to sign your signature when you are older, including:
- driver's license
- work documents
- buying a car
- buying a house
- signing your marriage certificate
Use these websites to download and print some worksheets to practice signing your signature:

- reduces stress
- aids sleep
- alleviates depression (keeps you from becoming sad)
- lengthens lifespan (helps you live longer, imagine!)

Do you have a hard time grasping fractions? Have you ever tried baking? Baking is a wonderful way to learn the concept of fractions and to practice working with them!
**Just make sure you check with your parents/guardians first, as ovens can be very hot and we don't want anyone getting hurt. **
Here is my very favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe, which I have been using to practice my fractions since I was TEN!
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
- Cream together: 1 cup shortening, 3/4 cup white sugar, 3/4 cup brown sugar
- Add in: 2 large eggs, 1 tbsp vanilla (I always add a small splash more ;)
- Mix in: 2 1/4 cups flour (which is actually just 3/4 cup used three times=less cleaning!), 1 tsp baking soda, 3/4 tsp salt
- Finally: Add a lot of chocolate chips! (usually a cup or more, decide when you're mixing) I use semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Bake in 375 degree oven for about ten minutes. When the edges are golden brown take them out and leave them on the pan so the middle cooks a bit more. They will be chewy on the inside and slightly crunchy on the outside. Share with your family!
Please send me a pic of you in the kitchen: tiffany.gallant2@nbed.nb.ca
