Grades!

This week was one devoted to school. Next week will be too. And the week after. It is the end of the term and that means a busy time for all. I created graded, and handed back tests for all 8 of my classes. The results were quite strange - huge differences between classes. The results should have been similar as the level, age, and everything else was the same, but some of the averages were incredibly far apart.

My HAVO2 students (lower level 8th graders) are, on average, failing. This is a bit worrisome as I just learned from the kids that there is a new standard for passing onto the next year at the school - they must pass Math, Dutch, and English. Hmmm...

We spent a nice weekend at the cottage - the weather was beautiful so we went for some nice walks as saw some family. Got another full car load dropped off at the second hand shop, so Naomi is really making progress cleaning out the storage room upstairs. I also got a Brazilian baby hammock set up and the girls seem to love it (although probably not as much as I do).

Now it is time to pack things up to head back to the big city, and another busy week at work...
