Catching Up

I've decided that I don't care if we ever finish the school year. If we have something fun to do, we'll do it. If we don't have anything else planned, we'll do some book work. It keeps everyone busy.

Now for some catching up....

Tadpoles:
I'm not sure what happened to the tadpoles. We had them forever and they never changed at all. I never saw any hint of legs growing or tails disappearing. Eventually, they just disappeared. I don't know what happened. They didn't just die b/c there weren't any little tadpole bodies in the water. Your guess is as good as mine!

Caterpillars:
Again, I don't know what happened here. They disappeared... most likely eaten by a (an?) opossum while in their cocoons. We never saw a moth. Just keep the tadpoles and caterpillars in mind when you ask me to watch your children. ;)

Testing:
We got Adam and Ryan's test results. The state requires a yearly assessment and we chose standardized tests. Both boys did really well. I don't have the results in front of me so I can't give a lot of details. I remember Ryan scored high mastery in all the math sections (no surprise there!) and Adam did exceptionally well in Science and Social Studies. I've already mailed off a copy to the Board of Education along with out notice of intent to home school for next year.

Curriculum:
I still haven't decided on Language but I did decide on a new History curriculum. We're going to use Mystery of History and throw in a few Sonlight readers.

Laundry Day:
I still hate doing laundry and laundry day isn't as much fun since dh read this post.
