School Finals (Grade School Style)

Well, it's finally time for the finale of the school Finals :) Kindergarten, 1st grade, and 2nd grade Finals that is! Yep, my three oldest kiddos are in the throws of their End-of-Year exams. They each have 3-4 days of testing! In MY Kindergarten I only remember coloring and napping and watching the boy across from me with his nose running onto the big table that we all shared as a desk. Good times! Oh, and going to the Principal's office, but that's a story for another day. (Only time I was ever sent to the Principal's office I might add!) But on to the children...

We actually homeschool them, but decided to have them take this test at their former school along with their former classmates to see how they 'measure up'. I'm curious and a little nervous. After all, this will not only reflect on them as students but on me as a teacher! Eeeks! I'm not too terribly concerned about others thinking I'm great at it because I can tell you I'm not! But it IS what we chose for our family to do this year for school and through the roller coaster of months I think we've come out looking pretty good :)

So the three kids joined in on a class in their grade and did their pledges and prayer routine alongside their old buddies and then sat down with their No. 2 pencils to fill in the 'bubble' circles under the correct answers! Ah, the memories.

They seemed to take it mostly in stride and were definately more excited about just getting to be alongside their old friends! Well, at least maybe they won't stress out over the correct answer and sweat it out like their Mom used to most tests. I'm glad it's them and not me, lol :)
