Cursive Club with the Litchfield Historical Society is back! Using documents from the collection, combined with fun games and crafts, students will learn to read and write in cursive while exploring local history and creating art.
Reading and writing in cursive is an important foundational skill for students. Recent studies have shown that writing in cursive improves memory and comprehension and helps students process information as they put pen to paper. In addition to learning cursive, students will be developing fine motor skills, observational skills, and research skills.
Cursive Club is for all area students in grades 3-6. Classes are held on Tuesdays in February from 4:00-5:30 at the Litchfield History Museum (7 South Street.) Students can be dropped off after school, between 3:45-4:00. $50 for members and $65 for non-members for series for the series. Questions about the series? Contact Kate Zullo at education@litchfieldhistoricalsociety.org.
