Dottie and Kriston, I'm not thinking of any more skips for a while. But I do think that it is good to encourage him to do his own projects because ultimately that is what is going to save our bacon. If he responds so well to teacher suggestions, maybe she and I can take advantage of that to keep him interested and engaged in school.
His K teacher noticed the same thing about him. She suggested that he needed to learn how to skip so he practiced doggedly at home for several weeks until he could do it. Same with dribbling a ball and tying a shoe. The school considered those things to be strongly in his favor in terms of approving the skip. They said he "takes instruction well." He doesn't take instruction as well from me, LOL!
