Pencil Grip Help

If your Kindergarten class is anything like mine, then you're bound to have a few students who struggle with finding the right grip for the pencil. As you work to get them to hold it properly, you find some hold it too tight, others too loosely. Others still will point the eraser in the wrong direction. A few years back someone shared this with me. I haven't needed it for a while, but keep a dozen or so on hand...just in case. Maybe you've seen these before....maybe you have some tucked away and need a little reminder to pull them out:

I Love Fonts...

This is a re-post I made earlier but well worth sharing here:
I really LOVE fonts! I really don't know what the attraction is, but for me, the more the merrier! ;-)
True story...years ago I went to load a new program on my computer and got an error message that I had too many fonts (about 750) and needed to remove at least 250 before the program could be loaded. LOL!!
I thought I would share with you some of the online places I like to go to find fonts. Maybe you are a FONT JUNKIE too! ;-)

Free Fonts from Kevin & Amanda;
Font for Peas They can take your handwriting and turn it into a font!






They also have FREE SCRAPBOOK FONTS:







SUGAR FROG FONTS (free)

I visit LETTERING DELIGHTS on a regular basis. They are a "pay for" font site, but they often run $1 specials!

Here's another site to turn your handwriting into a font. 

Sweet Shoppe Designs

I will post more sites later. In the meantime, if you have a favorite site for fonts, feel free to let me know and I'll share it here!
