...interesting

Do you ever get into a giggly mood? I have running commentary in my head... Whatever happens I have something to say (maybe some of you have already noticed) and generally my commentary makes me laugh. So anyways, I'm in one of those moods right now. I'm trying to finish my math homework, and I just feel like giggling (mind you, math homework is nothing to giggle at) I think it's an attempt to procrastinate. Like I know I should be doing it, but lookie here! I'm on my blog.
Anyways, onto non-giggling, block-related things. I did another reading assessment with my child today. It was interesting (for lack of a better word) We read Curious George Goes to an Ice Cream Shop. She liked it, but some of the questions I was asking her was too difficult. And it's hard to gauge her reading level because she didn't know the front of the book, but she knows the direction I should be reading. And even though she knows that, when she wrote her name, she wrote the first letter, then the second letter was to the left and then she continued onto the right side of the first letter. Is anyone else confused as to how to assess the responses they're getting from their child? At first, I was like uuughhh I wish I got a child that knew all the answers (lol... yeah right!) but I think this is way better. It's actual experience. The assessment is something that should teach me what to do in certain situations, and if there ever was an interesting (sorry for the repetitive word! I usually am much more articulate) case, this is it! Can't wait till we get to the other assessments! My next assessment is on Thursday...
O! and I'll post the first day pics and the Pregnant Women of Block picture soon. I still haven't uploaded them to my computer... but! as soon as I do, I'll post it :D
On to chocolate chip cupcake baking!

さようなら (bye in Japanese)
