The results are in!

We're off to a great start in school this year! Both kids have already taken 2 tests each - unbelievable for only 2 weeks of school, huh?

Lionel's tests...

Algebra: 100%
Vocabulary: 90%

For algebra he uses Saxon math, and vocabulary he uses Wordly Wise 9. He realized he made a silly mistake in WW, so maybe next time he'll ace the test!


Sweet-Pea's tests:

Math: 100%
Spelling: 90%

For math she is using Horizons Math. Her spelling test is from Abeka Spelling 2. She too made one silly mistake. Instead of spelling lack the correct way she spelled it l..a..c..h. One letter caused her to lose 10 points. Bummer huh?

I thought it was funny how both kids got the same grades on their first 2 tests! Lionel is in the process of doing his WriteShop right now. He is on lesson 20 where they teach you how to write with exaggeration. He has to write up a vacation brochure on how 'nice' and 'wonderful' the place will be. I immediately thought of the hotel we stayed at in Newport - where they told us that there was a great pool and you got free breakfast each morning. The thing they failed to mention was that you had to actually leave that hotel and walk accross a busy road to another hotel to do those things!!! Not very convenient and in my eyes a BIG exaggeration in their advertising. I can't wait to see what Lionel comes up with!!!
