Birthdays, candy, costumes and huge piles of fluffy leaves have got my students distracted. These candles, though it was only one day, worked to keep them focused. I told them the candle would be blown out as soon as I heard them goofing off. They did complete their math assignments quietly but I soon out found they also goofed off a bit, quietly. The evidence? piles of dripped wax and one little notebook with a burn hole. At least it was fun for one day.
Hi! My name is Melinda and my friend found your blog. It looks like we have several things in common. I'm LDS, we homeschool our children, we have seven kids ages 6 months to 9 years old, AND our baby is named George. I love your blog. Keep up the good work! You look very talented. I saw the picture of your 100+ immediate family members. That is AWESOME! Good to meet you :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I have a battery operated candle I use for scouts some time. It looks and smells like a real candle, but no mess.
ReplyDeleteLove this idea. We just may have to try it out. We have a lot of goofiness that goes on at the school table - not to mention some not always nice behavior either!
