In CCPS all students are instructed on manuscript letter formation (handwriting) in grades PreK-2 and beginning in 3rd grade they learn cursive. Ms. Katie Baur, 3rd grade teacher at Cranberry Station Elementary, provides a handwriting mini lesson, teaching cursive letter formation. Ms. Baur's class learned lower case, two o'clock letters (c,a,o,d ) during their elementary ELA block.
