Fast and Friday

Yesterday was great school-wise. Jordan and I love Fridays. On Fridays, Daddy doesn't go to work and Landon and I don't do school. Friday is test day for Jordan which, for this year, means when you have a test mom doesn't do a "lesson" for the subject were testing in. At first I was worried it would put too much pressure on Jordan. Three tests in one day??? But, he loves it. I let him pick which one he wants to get out of the way first. He always chooses his spelling test--because it's his favorite subject and he looks forward to finding out what new words he has for the next week. Then, it's on to the phonics test and math test. We read in our A Beka reader, go over AWANA verses, and karate words then see what Daddy is up to. Some Fridays I sneak in a short phonics lesson along with science and history. But I have found we do better in the long run to just leave off the science and history on Fridays.

Fridays are just great feel good days. I'm always glad. By Friday, I need a break and I think the boys do too.
