When Hubby was in fourth grade, the winter began particularly cold and snowy. His teacher wrote a note to all the parents and asked them to send a cross-stitch kit back to school for their child to work on during recesses inside.
There must have been some discussion among the parents of male students because when my Mother-in-law was telling me this little story, she went on to say that the teacher felt it would help ALL the students with their coordination. (As a teacher I'll let you in on a little secret: Almost anything will help coordination at recess time as long as it's not running around the classroom and hitting the child next to them!)
It took him the entire school year.
I'll wager that he was one of the few fourth graders to finish his project ...what a man.
