DD1 is starting to trace letters. She is able to do the "A" and the "M" on her own. DH and I are super proud of her.

When I went to pick her up from DC today, I mentioned it to her teacher. Her response "Are you showing her upper case or lower case?". Errrr upper case. It's easier. "Well you should show her lower case. If you teach her upper case, she's going to have to un-learn it all when she starts school and they teach her lower case".

Excuse me? How about a little "Way to go DD1" first, then you can share your concerns (and how about you don't do it with such a sh!tty attitude while you're at it)

Way to burst your bubble. Even if they are right, there's a thing called constructive criticism. They should learn it.

Yay!! That is awesome!

On a side note, I will mention that it is best to focus on lower case for the most part because most everything is written in lower case. Think about it, much of what you read is really in upper case? I had to lea

I'm proud of her! Way to go DD1!

IMO, her teacher is wrong in a way. Any kind of writing practice is great, regardless of being uppercase or lowercase. She's only 3, I'm sure if she's already writing uppercase she will be quick to learn lowe

Wait - is this the same teacher who was correcting DD1 about her age recently?

If so, this woman is clearly in the wrong line of work.

Also, LOL to the hypocrisy of writing their names in upper case, then saying they should learn lower

Any kind of writing is awesome! She will get upper and lower case rules in time. That is NOT the first thing you teach. That teacher is a party pooper.

Actually her motor skills are more equipped to handle forming uppercase letters at the moment. nbsp;Handwriting Without T

Way to go DD1!

Way to go, DD1! I agree that if she is forming letters, that is great. She'll figure out the rules when it becomes necessary. Sounds like teacher could work on her delivery.
