I am an Idiot
This year, I've worried about Connor and math. It took his entire third grade year to go through Singapore 3A. I was so relieved when we finally made it to Singapore 4 in his fourth grade year. I felt like we had "caught back up" to grade level.
We've been looking at the Robinson Curriculum lately. They recommend Saxon. I've never liked Saxon, though Jeff does. So just for fun I had Connor take the Saxon placement test this morning.
He tested into Saxon 76. In Saxonspeak, that's the book for average 7th graders, and advanced 6th graders.
The next time I worry about their progress, just smack me, okay?

I really, really, needed to hear this. We're slogging our way through Singapore 3A this year.
I hate long division.

We've spent my oldest son's 3rd grade year (which ends in December) going through Singapore 2A and 2B. :) I felt much better after I found out that the work he's doing is at the same level as his public schooled cousin who is the same age, and my son's learned to do these problems mentally. I may have him do the Saxon placement test to see if I can get some mommy-feel-good points, too.

Can we just smack you now for fun? J/K
That is terrific on Connor's math skills!
