This week I gave my older son the Iowa Test of Basic Skills and the CogAT. We took 4 mornings, but we are DONE! He did really well and for the most part had a great attitude about testing. He typically likes testing better than actual school. I guess because it’s easy for him. My older daughter watched my younger daughter while we tested and my younger son watched TV and worked on the computer. I have promised no seatwork tomorrow, but I think we’ll do some science instead.
I joined a yahoo group called Games4Learning. They have some really nice games in their files. I joined because of a new game they have posted call Globe Probe. We may try playing it tomorrow as well.

No, I didn't buy the forever stamps. They informed me that the only 100 they had was pretty flowers. I thought, how nice…till I found out!!!
We want to give our children the Iowa test next year. My Wonderful Husband has to get his "approval"
Have a great day!
