Second, let me fill you in on a little insanity that I like to call Mother Nature. We went to the park on Monday because it was beautiful weather. But then it snowed yesterday! Yes, that's right. It SNOWED & sleeted in NC on April 4, 2013. Has it EVER snowed this late before? (Yes, I know it has - bear with me & my rant!)But wait, there's more.....the weather for the next 7 days after the snow - 70's! Yep, it's time to find a new ground hog!
Ok, back to relevant issues.
Austin took his state achievement test this week. I believe that I was more nervous than he was, I couldn't sleep any the night before. Thankfully he takes it on the computer & we get the results almost immediately.
Up side - There was plenty of growth. He is still excelling in reading and doing much better in math than when he was in public school.
Down side - His language arts score was not as high as I would like so we really have to work on that.
Oh & get this ...... his listening skills were AMAZING! Um, hold up! I think they confused his score with someone else's. That kid hardly ever listens! At least now I know that he knows how! BUSTED!! LOL
So, that being said, I need to change up his LA. We have used Learning Language Arts through Literature and obviously it isn't working for us. I need ideas! I am going to have him work on Easy Peasy the rest of this year. We'll see how that goes.
We studied Ecology & Crochet with Keepers & Contenders yesterday. Austin taught archery to our 4H group. Then we went bowling! (in the snow & sleet)
I am hoping we can make it to a star party tonight for the 2013 NC Science Festival kickoff. I'll let you know.
