HaPpY BIRthDaY!!!
I LOVE Cheesecake - especially when it's from Cheesecake Factory! Yummy!!!
I would rather have it than birthday cake - so I did this year :)
Here's a fun way to practice your review pieces on your birthday...
Light a candle and play as many review songs until the candle is out. It's short and easy and gets the job done!

Have your child play her preview spot on each chair in the room and see which one is the "smartest."
There are lots of other cute ideas to help make practicing fun on the
Aber Suzuki Center Parent Handbook website!

It's football time!!!
As I've mentioned before, I'm taking some classes with Pat D'Ercole. A while back when I told her of some struggles I was having with a student, she said,
"Dress it up in a new costume!"
This football game is a variation of her "Chip Game" she likes to play.
SUPER BOWL PRACTICE
Here's how the game works…
*The student chooses the pink or the orange touchdown zone she wants to get to and the parent takes the other. The student in this game is going for the PINK touchdown
*Set a clear and specific goal that must be accomplished. By setting this goal, it will define what doing the repetition "correctly" means.
*The football starts on the 50 yard line
*Each time the student does the repetition correctly, the ball moves 10 yards. The student has done the repetition correctly 2x, so the ball is now on the 30 yard line.
*The student didn't do the repetition correctly. This means the ball moves back 10 yards, to the 40 yard line towards the parent's ORANGE touchdown.
Now that practicing is taken care of, go make some yummy treats and enjoy the weekend!
