Our decision to school our child in the often lost art of proper handwriting has been met with enthusiasm and some frustrating times- but overcome by my daughter's revelation:
"This is like Art- I mean my letters are beautiful!"
After that we decided to look at the pages of lowercase letters and find artistic value in each "portrait."
One of the "p's" was so large that we decided it could be in the Macey's Thanksgiving Day Parade
The "i's" look like a rollercoaster ride
The joy is in the FLOW-
Of the letters and her perception
We flow with her learning style: Art is everywhere!
