PRINCETON — Nearly a month into kindergarten, 5-year-old Cameron Lawrence of Princeton says things are going well, and he’s smarter than when he started.

Last week, Cameron completed his 25th day at St. Louis Catholic School in Princeton. During his first 25 days at school, he’s learned how to write a bunch of lower case and upper case letters, including the letters L and O, noting that his teacher, Linda Carter, taught him to start at the top when making the letter O, and then go down and around, closing it up back at the top.

During a recent visit, he practiced writing the letter G. The upper case is like the letter C, but then you turn and go back with a straight line. For the lower case g, you make your long loop, make a straight line down, and then come around in a fish hook, Cameron said.
