DD14 just got her ACT results-- she got a composite 34!!!

She got two perfect 36's-- in reading and English, and a 34 in the Science section.

I am relieved that even though she had writing at the end of the test (and note that we strongly suspect a CTD that makes her hands fatigue badly-- and makes writing longhand VERY difficult)--


She 99'ed everything but math (high 90's), and the writing section (98th percentile combined writing/English) which probably doesn't show her actual ability-- her SAT writing test (where the written essay comes FIRST) showed a better essay score.

She did it!! Yippeeeeeeee!!

(I'm really really elated that now she's probably done with standardized testing, which is way, way, way stressful with a 2e kid. It also means that she achieved her goal of NOT superscoring anything. She's going au natural. Three-for-three, kiddo! Good for her. )

woah i'm so behind on these. aquinas - holy that is amazing. i love reading about everyone's early readers - it's so cool seeing the way language clicks for them.

and HK - hurray! that must be such a major relief. hope you guys are doing a toast to the end of the standardized tests. i know they're useful, but good riddance! (ours will unfortunately begin in the spring - hold my hand, ok?)

and Lovemydd - that's kind of you to say! DD5 actually did a Suez canal drawing yesterday that includes a pretty good vanishing point - which i ALSO did not teach her - she just kind of worked it out (?!) - so today i'm going to show her how to do that for real. i should really start that art thread - i really, really want to see all the other drawings out there!

sure thing, KADmom! this is the rabbit on the chair... she invented the 3D herself based on a cube.



and since i'm semi-motivated... here's the Suez canal from yesterday! when i get a minute i'll start the art gallery thread for sure...
