I still feel like I'm a little over their heads. I am providing too much information too them, and am expecting them to pick it up quickly. But I have a plan. I realize now that with children this young everything must be routine. So I am going to make our practices a routine, by having them preform the same drills every time. And once they perfect it or I see them becoming board with the drill I will change, but I think having the drills be consistent will help them learn the skills more easily. But before I totally figure out my plan, I must test out all the drills because some of the drills that I have tried do not pan out. Whether they don't understand them, or the skills are too difficult, some drills that look so good in my head don't work out. Which is to be expected. Today Abby won for best focus.
