Journal: Week of April 29, 2024

This past week went well.  My Algebra and 8th grade math students took their end of the year STAAR test.  Hopefully, they did well.  We will not know the results until much later in the school year most likely.  Last year we did not know their results until the beginning of our current school year.  We have three more weeks of the 2023-2024 school year.  

We completed our annual swim test for BSA on Wednesday.  In order to pass the BSA swim test, you must jump feet first into water over the head in depth, level off, and begin swimming. Swim 75 yards in a strong manner using one or more of the following strokes: sidestroke, breaststroke, trudgen, or crawl; then swim 25 yards using an easy resting backstroke. The 100 yards must be swum continuously and include at least one sharp turn. After completing the swim, rest by floating. I recently purchased a Samsung Watch 6 and was impressed the watch knew which stroke I was doing while completing my test.  

Ashlyn went on an orchestra field trip with her school this past Thursday.  They did well and scored superior rating in all the categories.  After their performance, they went to Andretti Indoor Karting & Games.  

Friday evening, Ashlyn helped Jakob move the rest of his things from his dorm to the house.  He bribed her by buying her Whataburger for dinner and then ice cream afterwards!  He has a few more finals remaining next week, but otherwise has completed his first year at the University of North Texas!
