I'm sure y'all are sick of hearing about it, and hopefully once we're in the groove things will be less notable, but i was really excited about this: kate dragged her way through the rest of the mathematics assessment today. She was relieved to finish, then THRILLED to learn that she has already mastered over 2/3rds of the math course! This is self paced and all she only has to do are the lessons she needs. It turns out there are 12 different areas of learning. I promised pie (it is tracked on a pie chart) each time she finished a full wedge. She's only one or two lessons from finishing off the two largest wedges already! Fortunately she is happy with a frozen pot pie for lunch in "payment". She was one of only 2 kids in her math class to get a top score on SAGE testing last year, but we didn't realize how that would affect her course this year. Apparently she is skilled enough at math, she just doesn't care for it overly much. via Facebook
