Screening

Today K redid her kindergarten screening. She did the original in May and when we went to pick up the results, they could not find them. 10 kids were not scored yet. So we waited and called and finally end of June received them. They were a disappointment, she had zeroes in 2 areas. I called again to figure that out. They couldn't find the test booklet. Finally they called back that she somehow missed going to 2 centers on the test day. They had teachers taking them around the gym so I'm not sure how that happened. They weren't sure either. So, they wanted to do those 2 areas again. I said let's do the whole test again. They agreed and today she went. She just had one person testing her so I think that will be better. We don't have the results yet.

This time I'm not staking all my questioning about her being gifted on a public school kindergarten screening. I realized after I went through the book that she thought about the questions differently. She hasn't ever taken standardized tests. So, when I asked her "how do you bend her arm?", she didn't answer elbow or wrist like the book listed as answers. She struggled to explain muscles connected to bones and the brain sending the message and ultimately "I don't know". I think she answered a lot of questions with "I don't know" the first time because she felt she did not know the exact answer.

The swim meet was cancelled because of the weather.
