Our Writing-8 Setup

We're about a month into this and have a setup down for completing our Writing-8 exercises.  We've added stickers to the edges of the circles at the point where they were making the circles smaller and smaller unintentionally.  They now have to "hit" the stickers on their way around, which has helped them keep on track.

This particular Writing-8 page had circles that were too large, so we've scaled them down.



We've had some changes taking place!  They are small changes, but changes nonetheless.  CJ accidentally did an entire Math lesson!  He was only supposed to do half, as that was his limit and what I had assigned, but he said he accidentally did the whole thing.  If you were to do school with him before, he could procrastinate and push off a math lesson all day long.  Literally.  Along with this, we've noticed very small changes in his slow demeanor.  He has been using stronger descriptive words in his language, his actions are a little more intentional and not quite as awkward.  These changes are very small, and probably only noticeable to us, but we see them, and he's doing amazing!  We're hopeful that the next 5 months of this produce just as much, if not more, positive change!
