Tracing a Heart

One of many reasons why I use ABCmouse.com..

I typically (on a "school day") try to stay away from monitors and tv with my kids, but this website REALLY is worth the membership.

Assessment #4

Today was our 4th assessment here at EPU, and this particular one was considered of the "behavioral" category. They left us (me and EZ) alone in a small, empty room with one of those "interrogation" type one-way mirrors and a couple of cameras, and a small box with instructions in it.

We had to do certain exercises, in no particular order, to go along with the objects in the box. He was cooperating unusually well, considering I had just got through explaining every single concern I had about his ADHD symptoms.

One of the instructions was for me to leave the room for a minute.

I did this one with particular anticipation, because I was sure to find everything in the box thrown across the room (with perhaps some scratch marks on the walls as well..) I left the room for 2 minutes actually, just to really see if he would back me up this time. But, lo and behold, when I returned, I came to find just this on the table.

Perfectly symmetrical from all vantage points..

 

Maybe I shouldn't have given him the Bright Spark and Focus Formula today..
