  1. Old Schoolhouses “If children cannot form letters with reasonable legibility and speed — they cannot translate the language in their minds into written text” (Graham, 2010, 49). 7-13 year olds in school in Polk County, Florida, increased from 5,298 in 1920 to 14,785 in 1950

  2. Dear Friends,I am enjoying my vacation and tour of old schoolhouses thus far. I visited one old schoolhouse in particular and was able to sit in refinished school desks of students from 1920-1950. The tour guide told my group about how young students were taught handwriting and how to place their papers parallel to the edge of the desk and slant their papers on an angle for the most legible writing techniques. This posture prevented curvature of the spine and eye strain because students were sitting straight with elbows equal pressure on the desk and eyes looking straight on to the paper.Wish you were here.Ms. Brenna To: Ms. ECE Teacher Playland, USA 12345 From: Ms. Brenna Winter Haven, FL 33884
