First Tests

I gathered together some practice tests for the kids to do this morning so that I could see where they were academically. They covered spelling, reading comprehension, synonyms, and finding words to fit the context of a sentence. They both flew throught this portion of tests. Jake for grade 2, Josie for grade 3. So I think I'll test them in math skills tomorrow. I believe we can handle most of our language skills through reading in the afternoons, but I want them to know how to take a test. We also covered the process of elimination, going with your first guess, and what is fact and opinion. Side note: we found a spelling mistake in the instructions on Jake's test. Descibe.
