The children are learning to make stars at the chalkboard.  They place stars over the “best” letters and numbers as they make them.  Even though this fun for the children.  We use their enthusiasm to practice making “sliding ” (diagonal) straight lines which are necessary for forming the uppercase letter “A”. Diagonal-straight lines are difficult for young children to make. Students often make the diagonal line with a curve instead of being straight, or they will make one line straight down and the other diagonal.  Making both lines diagonal and straight is often a challenge.

Making Stars Instructions Included with download:
​
Standing at the Chalkboard Directions:     We tell the children to make a dot up “high” #1. Then we tell them to make a “sliding ” straight line to the left #2 (like a slide at the park).  Next we tell them to start on the top dot again #1 and make a “sliding ” straight line (like a slide at the park) to the right #3.   It should now look like a teepee/wigwam.  Usually we shorten the instructions and ask the children to make a “teepee”, but we insist that the teepee is formed in the order as listed above.   Next, we have the children make a dot on each side of the teepee #4 and #5.  (The placement of the dots improves with practice.) On occasion we have the children hold two pieces of chalk, one in each hand and have them make both diagonal lines at the same time starting on the top dot, and place the dots simultaneously on each side of the teepee. Then we have them follow the dots on the front of this paper.   Have fun.
