Hi DeeDee
Thanks for the tip - ooh sorry bad pun!

Apparently the tried and true motivations are currently working here - DS got a really nice comment on one homework from his teacher and seems more inclined to focus on doing a good job now. He must have heard someone get good feedback on length and quality of sentences because his have gotten longer and better reflect his complicated ideas.

The golf pencils have been fantastic ,primarily for ending the endless picking of the erasers which was driving me INSANE.

Glad the tips are working for you, we loved Roxie!
