This was the BIG WEEK of IOWA TESTING!! Wed, Thur, and Fri Dd spent her mornings taking standardized tests!! The horror! This was really hard for Dd and she was not use to this type of thing. So after testing on Wed. we went to the park and she played with AC; and then we invited AC to come home with us and continue to play at our house. After testing on Wed. we went to another park and she played with AC. Then after testing on Fri. we invited GG to go to the YMCA with us and go swimming, and eat at Subway with us too. Then she came home and played until about 8-ish. All the playing really helped Dd get a nice reward.
We had our normal IG activities and readings. We are getting really tired of listening to track 15 on the Sing the Word: Great in Counsel and Mighty in Deed CD!! We listen to it sometimes on our LOW weeks too; so that makes us hear that song over and over.
We are enjoying "Swift Rivers" -- not as much as we (I) loved "The Journeyman".....which was such a great book.
