Test Taking

Today was the last day of standardized testing!  Although they don't actually have to take a standardized test until 3rd grade, I went ahead and signed them up for the Stanford Test this year.  I wanted them to have practice taking tests, and get an idea of how they fall in a Nationwide test.  So, yesterday and today I picked up Anna and took the three of them to a church in Newnan where they, and 70 or so other homeschoolers, sat with their freshly sharpened pencils and scratch paper.  They were in a classroom with around 15 second graders, with our three sitting together at their own table.  Asa and Anna started out nervous, but as soon as I picked them up from their first day, they all agrees that it was not as bad as they thought it would be.  It will be a couple months before we receive the results, but so far I can already tell that it was money and effort well spent!
