FairProspects Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 When you move to having your dc do copywork on plain lined paper, where do you have them write their name and the date? Assume that this is a child with spacing issues, so using the margin is a bad idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurelia Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Usually we don't, but when we do, I have Ariel put it on the left side of the top margin, starting at the vertical line, date below the name. When I was elementary school, that was how we did it. Otherwise I would use the top two lines, then skip a line or two and start writing.

boscopup Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I remember in school that every teacher had a different convention, so we just had to remember where it was for that particular class. Many did upper righthand corner, but some did left. For a student with spacing issues, the left side would probably be waaaaay easier. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In the Rain Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I like the upper right corner, but the left is easier. I only have them write the date, not their names Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairProspects Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Hmm. Okay, maybe it is not such a dumb question after all. It doesn't sound like everyone is making their dc write name and date. Due to writing automaticity issues, this kid needs to practice writing his full name on every paper. I guess I could try out a couple of different methods and see what works best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boscopup Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 It doesn't sound like everyone is making their dc write name and date. So far, I only have one kid schooling (officially), so I haven't required it yet. I will eventually. I probably should now to get him in the habit. I've just been lazy. :tongue_smilie: I do think it's a good idea, as even when we'd done it since K or 1st grade, it wasn't unusual to have one or two people turn in papers in high school without a name. ;) And even homeschooled kids have to put their names on their papers when they go to college. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotAVampireLvr Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 We put our name on the top left. We write the date next to the name. My 7 y.o. is already in the habit of writing his name on everything having spent a year in prek and 1 1/2 in PS. We've continued this practice at home, even in workbooks.

EMS83 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I have her put her name on the top left and I date it for her on the top right. Exactly what I define as "top left" or "top right" varies based on paper and mood. Could be the corner, or the first proper line. I'm not that particular on that point quite yet. :D Artwork I do the bottom right, if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
