This is totally fabulous, Stefan!

A research project should be done, studying your students and how they  
use SignWriting, at all ages...from 5 to 19...that would be a great  
study for research...

I didn't realize you were teaching kindergarten ages now...

It is exciting to imagine your students writing by hand...I bet they  
will become accomplished scribes like their teacher some day...smile...

Val ;-)
