Under the chalkboard By yesteach

As someone who is ADD and has an ADD child, may I make a suggestion to not put something like this under a chalk/white board you will be using for instruction - it is terribly distracting to us... we'll look at the books rather than the teaching.. :-)

Also, my DD in addition to the ADD is also OCD, and freaked out when I showed her a picture of these and asked "what do you think of this idea".. her first question - "Why are they all different sizes? Why would you do that?" She would be the child who the FIRST chance she had would go over and rearrange them all by height so they "looked right." Another reason I thought of the "under the board" suggestion.. she'd spend the whole instructional time rearranging them in her head while you were teaching.
