Quotable Quotes

This lesson is a nice way to assess student's cursive skills We searched books and online sites for quotes. We discussed them and had students explain what the quotes mean.  The students picked a quote that they really liked and wrote it in cursive on a piece of paper. Then they illustrated using water colors.  I loved the quotes they picked!

"Childhood is a journey, not a race." -Unknown

"When life gives you lemons, make orange juice and watch everyone wonder how you did it." -Unknown

"A friendly smile is always in style."- Unknown

"If you take yourself out of the game, you'll never succeed." -Unknown
