Live to Dance?

     Dance class resumed this week at its usual time of 10:30 in the morning.  It's an hour and 15 minutes, great exercise, and a lot of fun for the kids.  Unfortunately, it makes Zack really tired.  When we got home, it was time for lunch and then we sat down to continue the school day.  We got through spelling, grammar, and note taking for his Great White shark report, but then his energy crashed.  We weren't able to get through the science.  I used to ask him to push through the sleepiness, but I've come to the conclusion that it isn't worth it.  It takes twice as long to get through the lesson, and he doesn't retain the information.  I have discovered that it's much better if we cover the heavy subjects like math and science before lunch, and leave the easier assignments and the P.E. requirement for the afternoons.  I am thinking of dropping the dance class, but it's the only time Zack is exposed to pop music.  (He only likes to listen to Disney movie tracks.)  Plus, it's an opportunity for him to socialize with other kids his age.  For now, dance stays and the brainy subjects get moved to a different day!
