Dirty Hands and a Home School Tip
Imp is looking at some fresh-picked lavender in his hands. I only hope he doesn't try to eat any of it. Oh, those filthy hands...
So I discovered a great little tip to use when homeschooling a rambunctious 1st grader (Duke). Every fifteen minutes or so we both do a few minutes of exercise; usually involving jumping jacks, bottom kicks, virtual jump rope and boxing. Duke has trouble staying still while doing schoolwork and I found yelling at him to stop squirming and chewing on his pencils was not working. But the exercise really helps him focus and allows me to work out some of my frustration. ;-)
