Today we tackled one of the trickier letters to print. Everyone did a good job. Ask your child to show you how to print the letter e. 

We say, "Over-around-open," to remind ourselves of where each stroke begins and which direction to go. 

1. When we say, "Over," we make a straight line that goes from left to right. 
   
2. When we say, "Around," we move up and around to the left.
3. We say, "Open," to remind ourselves not to close the shape, but to leave it open.

All children are now responsible for forming the letter e correctly at all times. Those whose names have an e in them have special responsibility because they will be writing many es in their lives.
