The Vashon Green School is a place-based multi-age learning community located on 7 acres of farm and woodlands, on Vashon’s Westside. We offer a hands-on, hearts-on embodied curriculum rooted in practices that promote social intelligence and connection to the natural world. Our curriculum seeks to provide children with tools and support for living a full, balanced and creative life by giving equal value to each of the four windows of knowing: feeling, imagining, sensing and thinking. Mentors honor each child’s unique gifts and learning styles, supported by our small mentor-student ratio. VGS children, mentors and families journey together to create a learning community rooted in compassion, connection and gratitude.

Cursive practice and form drawing exercises

Dana Schuerholz

For students interested in practicing their cursive handwriting here is an example of making lists of vocabulary from this lesson unit that we have written in summaries, so the spelling of these words is in your main lesson books if you are uncertain.

Start with a cursive lower case letter “l” repeated without lifting your pencil . then do it upside down on the next line. Take your time. Form drawing is a meditation. Focus and make it beautiful. After all the rows are filled with mirror images of loops go back and create a pattern with color filling in the spaces. I left the top two lines unfinished so you could see the primary pattern clearly. You should fill the entire page with a pattern of color and form.
