In my life this week…I put out fires between my 36 month old and a 20 month old. My son is a little OCD and the other little boy is ALL BOY! It was interesting watching them interact...they really didn't understand why the other one played the way he did.
In our homeschool this week…we took it easy this week. We on finishing up our ladybug unit, math and reading.
Places we’re going and people we’re seeing…our former nanny and her son (20 months old) came to visit us this week. We had a great time catching up, relaxing and hanging out a parks!
My favorite thing this week was…hearing that our former nanny was proposed to soon after she got home from visiting us (she accepted)!
What’s working/not working for us…what is not working for me is Blogger. I love that it is free and easy to use but I think my little blog here is ready for wordpress. I have started the process of moving my blog so please hang in there with me. Our family blog and Unicorn's blog will remain with Blogger.
Homeschool questions/thoughts I have…How many of you use a standardized test as part of your documentation? Is it required by your state? Arizona does not require testing unless you are part of one of the charter homeschooling schools (and we are not). I have chosen to test my students using the CAT.
I do this for a couple reasons:
1. So I can easily see improvement/deficincies
2. So they will be ready for SAT/ACT tests that may be required for college entrance
3. Just in case AZ changes it policies
