<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello Valerie and list,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have followed with interest the topic about
writing by hand.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> In the beginning of our fall season' 03,
I have started to teach handwriting from the beginning, with the new
students. We made a game out of it, using the table as a drum. I would hit the
table each time they were to draw a line. As you may see on the attachment the
lines are numbered, taken from Valerie's instruction booklet. For the filling
I would use a "ruffle" with my fingers on the table. Each child took a
turn drumming and slowly sped up by each drawing.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It was fun and at the same time they learn to
recognize the symbol. I hope by this way that they will see the fun
of writing SW. by hand .</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This attachment is from Brianna. She has been
with me for 3 seasons and is able to help me teach the SW. to the new
children. Although it is not neat yet, she is starting to like it and I
hope at the end of our Spring session that she will enjoy writing her own
story by hand, rather than on the computer. </FONT></DIV>
