So I made a Target run while one dd had a 2 hour gymnastics class today for trailer supplies. I watched the video that @figmentfan423 posted yesterday and it made me think. We are not getting housekeeping so there won’t be towel changes or bedsheet changes. Plus, I don’t know how they wash their stuff. Maybe a little OCD here but I took advantage of 15% off bedding and bought bedsheets for all the kids, new fuzzy blankets, and new towels. Also bought hand soap and cleaning wipes. I have a separate luggage filled with that stuff now. Not sure if dh was happy I watched that video.

Sorry. She did say the company she used was no longer on the approved list. Anyway, we did the same thing the first time we rented a house down there. We loaded up the van with half a house, next trip less, trip after even less. Now we're down to a flat grater, knife and a nutribullet. We do a Target or Walmart run for cleaning supplies and some food and Whole Food and Publix for food depending on what we're closer to.

They are twin. I saw they had them in full as well at the store. Maybe online they have king? It was one of Target's brands I think. They were inexpensive as well. I think they were $19.99 before the 15% was taken off. The twin blankets were $22. I got one with unicorns for littlest dd. They only had 2 flamingos left. At first she was upset until she saw the unicorns. Then middle girl dd was upset when she saw she wasn't getting the unicorns, until I reminded her that her favorite bird is a flamingo. :rolleyes:

I just googled it. Looks like Ohio public schools must be grade 3 as well, I think, if I’m reading correctly. So who are the students that he’s being measured against?

Here’s what the test measures..

What do you guys do with the results? Or do you just ignore them?

Our kids get tested twice a year with a standardized test, and it's just to check their level, not for funding or anything. The thing to remember about these tests is that this is one moment. They take this test one day and there are no re-takes or anything. If your kid is sick, did not sleep well, is experiencing anxiety from home situations, etc....all of those things can affect that test. And some kids just don't test well. When DD was in kindergarten, the test showed her in the lowest category for vocabulary. Well, duh...she's bilingual and they only tested her vocab in one language, so of course, if you compare half of her vocabulary to every other kid's entire vocabulary, hers is going to look low. We got called in for a meeting and they enrolled her in a special class 4 hours a day, 4 days a week. Not even halfway through the year, when the next testing moment came around, her teacher didn't know what to do with her because she didn't need the class....she was doing the hardest work and getting it done way before her classmates were done with the EASIEST work. And then her test scores showed she was above average, they pulled her out of the special class and now she's in 6th grade and is in like the top 5% of 6th graders in the Netherlands. That one test was just not her best day and didn't really show her level accurately. Pay more attention to the pattern over time....is it consistent or up and down? What are his grades like? Teachers are with them every day...they know more about your kid's level than some test can show in a day or two.
