State Testing

We had to leave for state testing at noon. Since it's an hour away we stayed and went grocery shopping and ran errands while we were in "town."

Family Scripture Study:
1 Nephi 17 (finished last half)
Weekly Family Memorization: 1 Timothy 4:12
Chores/Animal Care
Testing: Luke and Caleb had state testing.
Library Trip
Lots of Grocery Shopping
Music Store
Book on Tape: Harriet the Spy

Caleb: Read his scriptures, played Raz-kids, worked on a phonics game for an hour, shoveled snow, learned how to play Stratego, looked at and read several books.

Luke: Read his scriptures, practiced the piano, worked in his sketch book, read in The Ranger's Apprentice, wrote a blog post about his day, played Risk and Stratego, read a book about World War II, wrote a blog post about what he learned, played Rush Hour, Jr., and worked on a lot of math problems dealing with double and triple digit addtion and subtraction.

Jared: Read his scriptures, practice the piano, read in Peter and the Starcatchers and the Shadow Thieves, played Quarter Mile Math and was quizzed on his typing skills, played Raz-kids, learned about the Periodic Table from a short science video, and played Stratego and Risk.

Olivia: Read her scriptures, practiced the piano, read and finished The Red Scarf Girl, finished her scarf that she made on a loom (it took her a couple of weeks), did a lot of price comparison and helped me a ton with the grocery shopping, played Stratego and Risk, and read several articles in a horse magazine while she waited for her brothers at the library.

Deanna: Read my scriptures, wrote in my journal, word of the day, practiced the piano, read and finished Agamemnon by Aeschylus, and started The Trojan Women by Euripides.

Alex: Read his scriptures, read in the church handbooks, word of the day, went to work, attended a district scout meeting, finished 10 Great American Short Stories and started The Ranger's Apprentice.

State Testing! Ugh! I'm so glad we do not have to do that here. I hope you had fun in town.

I live in the same state, just wondering why you choose to do testing? We're new to the HS scene, so I like to find out others opinions. Thanks.
