Testing

In Montesssori there isn't really any homework or testing, at least not until 3rd grade. Leelee's 3rd grade class started preparing for a "test" by taking a practice test yesterday. I didn't even know. He came home and says "guess what? we did a practice test today!" I asked how it went. He said it was "sooooo fun. It was like twice as easy as our workbooks". hahaha. Maybe, just maybe, my years of semi-enforcing those darn workbooks will pay off? Anyway, fun to see these Montessori kids get excited about tests - I will ride that feeling as long as I can.


I didn't understand how this pattern emerged from a mango until I asked Leelee if he had bitten in to it with his teeth, and his diastemas. The answer was yes.

The kids like to do spelling bingo but this time it was Olin vs. Babz and Olin most definitely won. I gave Babz the 8th grade plus word lists and he didn't fare so well. Maybe 50%. Olin did well on the first grader words.

Cheetos and Sprite - dinner of champs. HHS little league night. Free hot dog and chips for all little leaguers that wear their hats and jerseys.

T-ball plus Coach Evan

Leelee pitched! I was proud of him for getting out there for an inning. They didn't score any runs off of him so that was a plus.

Watching the Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, or wardroh as Olin says

Watching baseball

Leelee had a spelling bee last week so I tested him on some words. I told him to spell newlyweds and he says "N-E-W-L-Y-M-E-D-S...newlymeds". We were laughing so hard when I corrected him.
