.In my life this week…
I continue to be incredibly busy driving my kids to and fro. Meg is currently taking a driver's ed class- so relief is on the horizon, but we have to drive her to the class two evenings a week. Spring break is coming up, I am looking forward to using the time to re-organize my homeschool books and set some aside to sell.
In our homeschool this week…
We finally received Meg's California Exit Exam results in the mail. Since we homeschool through a charter school, my kids have to participate in the yearly standardized tests- and have to take the exit exam to graduate. I have to admit I was on pins & needles about this. Usually, I don't worry at all about the yearly tests, and I do not teach for the tests ever. But for me, this one was different. It was kind of grading my job as a teacher.
The public schools start the exit testing in 10th grade, in order to give the students the ultimate amount of chances to keep taking it if they fail. I'm happy to report that Meg passed it on her first try, whoo-hoo! :) Mom did a happy dance.
Places we’re going and people we’re seeing…
This week, we had music recitals for all the kids. Meg's was on Saturday, and Josie, Demi & Amie had their piano recital on Sunday. Meg played a duet with Josie. We've had the usual lessons, a trip to the library, a trip to the yogurt shop, and the skateboard park for P.E.
My favorite thing this week was…
was watching my kids perform at their recitals. A joy- definitely! A close second were the test results...Sky is going to treat me to Cheesecake factory for my victory celebration.
What’s working/not working for us…
Listening to books on tape during lunch is a good thing. Not working- um, pretty much my disorganization! I'm hoping to work on that next week.
Homeschool questions/thoughts I have…
trying to figure out curriculum for next year. We are planning Meg's course work for next year, and I am very excited about the classes she will be taking through the Biola Star program. Josie will be joining her as a freshman.
