Please help me get to the quarter finals! Only the top 1 in each group moves on! I have a chance at $25K and a trip to Hawaii! Also a special visit from Bill Nye the Science Guy to our school!

Is Kelly Bone America's Favorite Teacher? I love seeing the “a ha” moments when a child gets it. Knowing that I had something to do with them learning it, makes my heart happy.

Check it out! Vote for me as America’s Favorite Teacher! I could win a trip to Hawaii and $25K!

You can vote once a day!

For all of those wiggle worms!

Trouble Sitting Still or Reading? This Brain Exercise Might Help! 🧠🚀 If your child struggles to sit still, focus, or read smoothly, it might not just be “bad behavior.” Sometimes, it’s because the motor cortex isn’t properly inhibited — meaning the brain keeps sending signals to move, move, move! ⸻ 🧠 Try This Brain-Body Coordination Exercise: ✅ Contralateral snow angel:     •    Lift one arm + opposite leg     •    Bring them back down     •    Switch sides and repeat ↔️ This gets the left and right brain communicating better. 👀 Reading Connection: Kids who have trouble crossing the body’s midline may also struggle when their eyes go side-to-side across a page — making reading choppy and tiring. ⸻ ✨ Bonus Cheek Trick:     •    Follow a dot moving side-to-side with the eyes     •    Puff your cheek in the same direction your eyes are looking This trains the brain’s pathways for smooth tracking and reduces reading fatigue! ⸻ Just a couple of minutes a day can improve impulse control, body awareness, and reading flow. It’s like a brain workout for calm and focus! ⸻ 💬 Want more exercises for focus and coordination?

This is so important for those who struggle with anxiety!

Does your child struggle with anxiety? If they’re jumping at noises, movements, or anything sudden—long past infancy—it could signal a Moro reflex hanging on. I test it by tipping their head back; if their arms flare, it shows a startle that spikes their heart rate and flips them into fight-or-flight. Rolling them back over an exercise ball, reaching for toys, can wake up their vestibular system to calm that reflex. Gentle head movements work too, retraining their balance step by step. Imagine them steadier, less on edge—able to laugh and play without that constant jump. Btw, if you want to learn more exercises, how to test all the primitive reflexes, and how to get labs run for your child, comment PARENTS COURSE—I’d love to help you get started!

When you have a big class (22), and children of your own, and a couple of shirts for yourself…you prep at home so your not pulling out your hair when it’s time to tie dye!
