             NATIONAL BACKWARD DAY

.day good a is Today

The above sentence is backwards, I might wear my shirt backwards, maybe I will walk down the street backwards:  all in celebration of National Backward Day!   There are many other ways you can celebrate this fun day so just let your imagination be your guide.  Maybe you want to eat your dessert before you eat your meal!!

This day is very popular with school aged kids but there is no age limit on who can participate in all of the backward fun.
So EVERYONE, let’s have some fun!! 

FUN FACT:  Leonardo da Vinci wrote backward.  Not only did the artist and inventor write from right to left, he wrote his letters backward.

    NATIONAL INSPIRE YOUR HEART WITH ART DAY

Always celebrated on January 31st, Inspire Your Heart With Art Day is a day to ponder how art effects your heart. Art is valued and appreciated for all sorts of reasons. Today’s title does suggest that you inspire “your” heart, however, you may also use today to inspire another person’s heart.

You may choose to admire a beautiful masterpiece, go to a special concert, dance, paint, take photographs, create a sculpture, visit a museum or any of the thousands of forms of art.  Whichever you choose, enjoy this day and pass it on.

Art is a diverse range of human activities and the products of those activities; this article focuses primarily on the visual arts,  which includes the creation of images or objects in fields including painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, and other visual media. (Wikipedia)

Whether you are a parent, a teacher,  a school director, principal, sports instructor or anyone working with children, it is important to instill healthy lifestyle habits in children at the preschool age.
