I just finished making a screen cover for her. We are just using this for practice, and I don't want her to hate doing these practices!Kristinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1981445460202920584.post-75634588744431596902014-06-04T20:10:24.274-04:002014-06-04T20:10:24.274-04:00We just started xtramath today with my almost 6 ye...We just started xtramath today with my almost 6 year old. I typed the answer as she said it to help reduce stress. She got better in just the second test! Hoping this helps! Will write my review after we have tried it a while longer ;) <br />Http:addalittlespirit.blogspot.com-Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01144596014786534085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1981445460202920584.post-84107293854171514012013-03-08T09:16:25.717-05:002013-03-08T09:16:25.717-05:00Anna just showed me how to get rid of the man duri...Anna just showed me how to get rid of the man during Race the Teacher.... click on the little box underneath him;) <br /><br />But I think the smiley count is still more distracting than the man.In Everythinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01789551507678673996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1981445460202920584.post-85445700918613714112013-03-07T23:19:58.017-05:002013-03-07T23:19:58.017-05:00I'm glad you posted on this.

It wasn't worth the meltdowns that ensued when she got answers wrong, or couldn't race fast enough to get the smiles. The teacher also upset her when racing. I did find out how to get rid of him in the info section. She still had to race the clock, so we covered our screen too. I thought she might be to young for it and we could try it again next year.

She said, "well I DESPISE xtra math!"<br /><br />LOL! I've told her it's ok if she gets them wrong, it's just practice. I do have to be careful, because it will be the same 3 questions over and over and she'll miss one. I have to bite my tongue about it. <br /><br />I will use your idea to cover the screen and see if that helps. Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00342467790727259855noreply@blogger.com
