Kids love concrete evidence that they’re growing up – and here’s a reminder in the piano binder that they are, indeed, getting bigger. Every fall, I trace the outline of one hand on a piece of paper and tell them we’ll do it again in June so we can see the difference. Most can’t actually wait that long, but I hold firm. It’s a fast little thing – requiring practically no effort – but spiking the interest.
Pretty much everything I’ve posted here is something I got from somewhere else – a workshop, another teacher, somewhere online – and this is no exception. I’ve tweaked it a bit but cannot take credit for the idea. It is available in Printables.
printed Ok from dropbox. Great Idea!! how is the foot? are you running again?
Good to hear it worked.
I’ll try running tomorrow – I think. It’s just a bit stiff and sore in the morning.
This really sucks!
What a great idea! I only wish my hands were still growing so that I could do that too

Wouldn’t that be nice?
I wouldn’t mind a wee bit more of a stretch either.
