ROCK ON!!!

Last night the girls had a jam session! Kayla is getting pretty good on her guitar and can now play "Letting Go" /Francesca Batistelli, "Teardrops on my guitar" / Taylor Swift, and now "Lovebug" / Jonas Brothers. Both Shae and Kayla can play the drums and do some cool drum beats. It is fun to see them enjoy life together! They are cool cats!

On a serious note .... I went ahead and gave Kayla the state AIMS math test for third grade yesterday. Anyone can find that on the AZ public schools superintendent website.

It was a blind test for her and she did real well.

Ya see ... the public school teaches to the test and before the students will take the AIMS (which is in April I think) the teachers go over extensively sample problems from the test. And now they actually have computer simulations that the kids do for a certain amount of time each week to prepare them for the AIMS test.

So, considering we didn't teach to their specific test Kayla did damn good! She missed a total of 4 out of 37 problems. Congrats Kayla ... job well done!

One she missed was a combination word problem which I thought was funny of how many different food combinations could a person have with a choice of 2 different sandwiches, 2 different drinks and 2 different snacks. Tom thought she would need to know that if she planned on working at a fast food joint. ha,ha,ha!
