Ever since we ran into some lazy habits with Ben, we've been using the timer. It helps him eat red meat in a more timely manner. Miraculously, it also enables him to clean his room in 15 minutes flat! Once we hit the start button, he goes into "song mode." This is Ben's way of humming in a loud, rhythmic, battle mantra. Think Gladiator. Moving to the point, Ben has to be timed for his math class as well. Facts Practice Test is what it's called. He needs to be able to answer 25 questions in a minute. This hasn't proven to be one of his strengths. Facts Practice is a very serious time for Ben, which more often then not, he ends up in tears. The nature of his personality is very serious and he gets extremely agitated with himself if his performance is poor. We're still working through this and doing a lot of encouraging to help him along.

Ben, go get them lefty! Grandpa does better with timers also, just ask Grandma.
Another lefty! Love. Mom
Hey Ben, your using the wrong hand; that's the problem.
Bennie, You will conquer whatever you set your mind to. Math will get easier and soon you will love it. Math is everywhere!
Dear Benjamin,
The fact is ... facts can be hard ... meme needs time to think .. when I think ... I get distracted ... then I need more time to think about what I was thinking about! It is a good thing I am not being timed.
