Most stuff is repeated from year to year and then expanded upon. However, it seems to do so more quickly the higher the grade level if that makes sense. If you go to milestones website, you can download the english placement test. It's in the second yellow box as you scroll down: https://www.milestonebooks.com/list/Building_Christian_English_Series/ I call and buy directly from the publisher instead of milestones because the price is better, their customer service and curriculum support is outstanding, and they ship faster due to being closer to me geographically.

It's still in the 60s and breezy here. Too chilly for swimming, but excellent for walks and bicycles.

Eek! Secret is "seal your pores shut" strength!

Right!? Maybe it's the testosterone? Just a theory.

Snack time, not lunch time yet.

I need to buy a new thermometer because ours bit the dust. Recs? It's been a long time since we bought one and the options are overwhelming. The last one we bought was a Bruan thermoscan ear thermometer when Oldest was a baby, so 11+ yrs ago. Accurate and easy to use is my priority.

7 hours?! No one is taking this thread seriously. Good MORNING! I'm coffeed up and test administering today.

Not as big of a deal as I originally thought. I called and the company was so nice. They are emailing me everything to go ahead and administer the test. I just have to print it and then scan the completed scantron into the computer and email it back to them. That'll definitely shave some time.

I can't decide what I want to buy. My wishlist is too long! 😂

Yay for rain and snow, but only because you need it. Boo for fire. Nobody likes fire.

I have a deadline to meet because I have to turn in the results of our testing by a specified date per state regs here.

***EdPo*** Our standardized testing materials got lost in the mail. Boo hoo hooyah

I'm relaxing and sipping hot tea while Amazoning.

You still haven't Booyah'd. This is against ITT regulations.

I've never tie dyed.

There ARE 6! I remember now! I even remember all of their names! I won't say them here though. Privacy and all.

Oldest and I made soap today. It's curing now.

I knew there were at least 5. 6 makes so much more sense.

No, because she hasn't Booya(h)ed yet. I've seen h, I've seen no h, and I've seen both. But none of the above?! It's been HOURS!

Unrelated, but I cannot remember how old ASD son is and I'm looking... You only have 4 kiddos listed here? Am I missing one? Why did I think you have 5?

Science/Math lesson in the kitchen today!

I just had to redirect Oldest's attention back to his science test. His nose is stuck in another Holling C. Holling book! I debated on whether to correct him or not, but it's a shortish simple test and it's been an hour!

I think that's 404 I'm personally looking forward to page 4444 because 4 4s!

As for science/math: we haven't gotten to science that really requires a lot of math yet. If we did, Oldest would either suddenly be motivated to learn math or figure out he doesn't like science as much as he thinks he does.

I wanna know what you come up with for science!
