Kreft Primary has a new handwriting champion! Abbie Heiser, a first grade student in Mrs. Pregon's room, submitted the winning entry in the annual Zaner-Bloser Handwriting Contest. All those that chose to participate received a certificate and a special pencil. The purpose of the contest is to encourage legible handwriting. State and national winners are selected from schools that use Zaner-Bloser materials. Participating students had to write their full names and then copy these sentences: I like to write letters to my friends. I always use my best manuscript writing. Then they had to explain why legible handwriting is important. Abbie said she thought it was important so that other people could understand what she wrote. Mrs. Pregon commented that Abbie uses her best handwriting in all of her work. Abbie's winning entry has been sent on to the state competition. Congratulations to all of the Kreft participants!
