Dear Friends,
Wow, we have so many great submissions for this theme! Reading all of them makes me feel like I am indeed watching flowers bloom, all similar in form but with their own beautiful colors and shapes. Please enjoy this throwback piece from Wyatt Dutton, a letter he wrote for his homeschool year-end review during his first year of open communication on the letterboard back in 2015, when he was 12 years old.
I have virtually “run into” Wyatt at different Speller events online, including SpellX 2021, for which he made a fantastic video that you can see at this link!
Enjoy!
Your Friend,
Danny
