It has been a busy two weeks. Today, we did our homeschool evals, and now I can take a deep breath and relax. Well for about 2 1/2 weeks that is, lol. Both kids did very well. No issues, though there are still things I want, and feel they need to improve on. With two kids getting evaluated, it is a very long day.
DJ took the PSAT, just a week or so ago. He did quite well for his first time. He got 1276 for a total score. Strong in reading and writing, needs improvement on math. We knew that, lol. He did fair for math, but needs to bring it up a few points. He will take the PSAT one more time, probably in January, and then the SAT at the end of 10th grade. This gives ample time to learn where weaknesses are, plus most colleges take the highest score you get. So, if you wait until the end of your senior year and bomb the test, then you are in a tight spot. Both SAT and ACT offer free questions of the day, and we will continue doing them each day, as well.
Last night was our annual 4H award dinner. Both kids got their 5 yr pins, and Caitlin got 4Her of the year, for her age group. DJ got it last year. We found out a lot of things at this meeting. The Guitar Club will continue, this is very good news, and a new bow and arrow shooting group will be starting. That too is very good news. Caitlin will be starting Gymnastics in October, so my calendar just got really full all of a sudden. That doesn't count our regular 4H meeting each month, and weekly teen praise band practice at church. Now, I need a nap before all the craziness starts up again.
