Tidbit

I forget to mention that my last lesson with 9-year-old-girl, she suggested that I buy her silly bands to reward her for when she does something well. She made this suggestion multiple times. This after she spent five minutes spraying a FLY on the window with water, because she hates flies, and using the same spray bottle to attack her 3 year old sister.

Of course, my desperate pleas of "Come back to me, [Name]," or "Focus!" or "Re-center yourself!" fell upon deaf ears.

I should also mention that she eventually killed the fly. She did not, however, play her scales hands together, which would've been the loftier achievement. I also never succeeded in getting her to center herself and focus on the concept of accidentals.

Moral of the story: Does it look like I would ever buy silly bands for anyone?!
