It has been a while since my last post. Have I been busy? With only a few weeks of school left, I can only say that I should enjoy the peaceful mornings now. There is also 2 more chinese school days and then we will officially have weekends we can sleep in. Sweet. But the the usual chores will be fun...having the girls tag along on our grocery trips. And I know they HATE them. Sometimes chinese school on Saturday mornings is not so bad.
For the past week, Amelia has been focusing on EQAO, the provincial standardized tests. Needless to say, the previous week, we have been diligently reviewing the various practice sheets she would bring home as homework. Some of the questions seemed a bit advanced compared to the homework I normally see her do. So, as we were solving the problems, I had to use various methods and explanations to suit her level. She was quite proud when the teacher used her answer to explain to the class...but then the teacher said, this method will be taught in grade 4...so, learn it now and you will know it next year. There were a few confused faces thereafter.
Amanda went to the Metro Zoo on Tuesday while next week, Amelia will be going to the Black Creek Pioneer Village. It's great that the kids can visit these educational points of interest. Other events...play day, teacher appreciation luncheon -- which I still have not decided to contribute or not...and report cards and then the last day of school on June 29 -- it will be a half day.
