Hello. My kids are in the third grade this year. They are 8 years old. Right now are biggest challange with school is tests. They have hallistic tests for reading, math, and science which counts for 40% of their grade. They take one or two each nine weeks. My son does horribly on them. Homework most nights of course is a challange with my son. My girls do their's just fine.

Both my girls are in dance. One does ballet and the other does tap. My son is in karate. And they go to Awana's at church on Wen. nights.

I do volunteer in their school. Not so much as when they were in kindergarten and I was there once a week. Now it is more for different activities that happen through the year.

We live in Florida. So our next biggest challange later this year will be the FCAT test. If they don't pass they are held back in the third grade.
