Life is Flowing...

We have started cursive writing-
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 "a's" looked like a face- so she filled in the features
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!
