The highlight of the day was writing time. Not only did Courtney write a mind-blowingly great poem, but I found what excites your kids--music! I was playing classical music as they wrote and after the last classical song in my iTunes playlist, it switched to a song my daughter had downloaded (Tic Tock). Suddenly, they were all out of their seats, dancing, break-dancing, and cutting loose. I can see that I need to incorporate popular music into our day. Fun, fun, fun!
