My "A" as Arlington not Capital!
Daughter loves practicing writing her name. I have never sat down and taught her how. She learnt it all on her own! She knows how to write her name in all caps. She has always watched me with great interest when I write her name on name tags out for library story times!
In class as a filler, they get pieces of paper with their name in dotted lines that the kids can trace over. They get to do this every few months. Just for fun. This morning she refused to follow the dotted lines and wrote her name on top of it. The last letter in her name is an "a".
So, I suggested why not she learn to write in lower case too. My words, "you always write a capital A, maybe you can learn to write the lower case."
Her response, "It's not the capital. It's like A as in my Arlington, my A."
lol… the capital she knows is of course, DC. and she is very possessive of the letters that make up her name! Often we find her spotting other words and saying, "look it also has my D…"
