I am so proud of Katie and Josh! Most of you know that Katie home schooled Josh this school year and he was in first grade. I had the opportunity to get a copy of a public school 1st grade Exit assessment. Katie thought it would be best to have someone other than her to administer the "test". We did it this afternoon. The assessment is six pages of all types of number concepts, i.e. - finish the pattern, skip count by 5's & 10's, add, subtract, number place value, greater and less than values, counting by 2's, 5's, and 10's, adding three numbers, fractions, filling in missing fact families, telling time, congruent shapes, counting money, measuring, and good grief....reading a calendar. I could not believe how long it was and how much was covered. These are all things first graders are expected to learn before going to second grade. This does not even count, phonics, reading, writing, etc. I only checked over it briefly, but I don't believe he left any out or missed any. That is just amazing to me. Katie and Josh deserve a BIG STAR (I am checking clipart to insert). Great work this year and I have no doubt they can forge ahead with next year's work when the school year begins...new baby added, and all! What a young woman you are Katie!

Thanks for testing him and for the "surprise." I am proud of Josh this year too and know he will do great in 2nd grade. He is very bright. I hope I can keep up!
