My fourth grader got the results of his third grade state tests yesterday. He’s advanced in reading, and accelerated in math. For a kid who has really struggled in math and claims to hate reading….we are just super proud. We are trying to convince him he should be proud of himself, too, but that’s harder. My first grader stood up to a bully on the playground who told another kid they were stupid, and when a girl asked him why he coughs all the time, he told her he has Tourette’s and it’s okay to be curious and it’s something he has that’s different from other people. He’s such an old soul. ---

I’m sure the results were available for any official purposes, but we got the report today that broke the test scores down. And the state didn’t use the test as a sole reason to retain any third graders last year either due to covid. ---

My son’s results from state testing last year just came a couple of weeks ago. ---

FYI - maximum possible points on math. Way up there in language arts. ---

Wow, I had no idea it took so long to get results. I am out of the loop on state testing, obviously. ---

First grader is testing at the 94th percentile in math. One more point and he’d be considered gifted by the district (but I don’t know that we’d send him to the gifted school, and obviously it doesn’t matter if he’s gifted or not, I’m just glad he’s inherited something at all from me). ---

My daughter who is in kindergarten showed me something I think she learned there. When you’re saying good bye you kiss the back of the person’s hand so that when they miss you they can hold their hand up against their cheek and it’s as if you’re giving them a kiss. I’d never heard of it before so it was one of the top 10 cutest experiences thus far in parenthood when she did it the first time. ---

Tonight our 6yo son told my husband, “Dad, do you know what I’m doing right now? I’m persevering in roblox! That’s important. It means never giving up. It’s kind of like patience. Which is important too." He is wiser than I am some days. ---

This isn’t a brag, but was chatting with my near 6 year old daughter the other day and she mentioned how she asked her teacher why we can’t feel the Earth spinning and her teacher said it was because it is spinning very slowly. Being the exceedingly helpful guy I am I corrected that in fact the Earth is spinning very, very quickly and that we can’t feel it because it’s not accelerating and we’re spinning right along with it, to which she was very displeased with me because her kindergarten teacher knows everything 😆 Ran into a similar thing last night when I told her the moon has gravity, to which she responded that just the Earth has gravity. ---

You could’ve _really_ gotten her going by letting her know that we _all_ have gravity. ---

My kids are here for a track out week. While we adults do our regular day jobs, the kids do whatever almost teenagers do on the internet all day. I guess the highlight so far was when 13 asked dad if he wanted to watch “that weird Jeopardy thing”, to which everyone in the room looked at him with a WTF expression, and eventually someone said.. “you mean, just… Jeopardy?” That weird Jeopardy thing it is. ---

It’s a weird AMERICAN thing I’VE never heard… They have all-year-round school which has a bunch of track-out blocks where their “track” is “out” of school for several weeks at a time.
