Our family has had quite the eventful week. The Chief's ship pulled in unexpectedly for two days but he was only able to come spend less than half a day with us.It was bittersweet- nice to see him but hard to let him go again.
We also brought home a foster kitty who was having issues with the other cats at the shelter. he wanted to play all of the time but they did not. He has settled down very much since coming here.I was also voted in as the kitten coordinator for the animal shelter. I am very excited about this but have a feeling the job will be very big since there are many homeless kitten litters born in this country that does not advocate spay and neutering.
The kids have been doing standardized test prep all this week to get ready for their actual tests that I will send back to the state of California for grading. Their scores will not be graded against other kids, we are strictly doing testing this year to see where each of my kids are and to see if we need to make any curriculum changes or additions. It was a rough week for them. the test prep requires them to be quiet and still as if they were taking the real test so I ensure they have lots of breaks to get up, get a snack, go outside or jump on the computer to play online language games. One thing my kids have issues with are homophones- words that sound the same but have different meanings. We found a whole bunch of homophone games that help them find the difference between to too and two.
This week we will continue our testing and make Valentine's Day decorations!
