Geocaching

We have discovered a new thing called geocaching. Geocaching is basically a high tech treasure hunting game played with your GPS enabled device. You use your GPS to find things that people have hidden. There are things hidden all over the world! Here is a slide show of some of the hunts we have been on over the past couple of weeks. Check out the website to learn more.

Cody's FCAT Scores

The FCAT scores came back for Cody! He got a 4 in reading and a 3 in math. The highest score is a 5, so he did above average.

His teacher called me to tell me his scores and Ricky told Cody that evening. Cody hugged Ricky and started to cry. Ricky asked him, "Why are you crying?" Cody looked up at Ricky and said, " They are tears of joy! I am going to the 4th grade!"

All night, he kept high fiving everyone and singing, "I'm going to the 4th grade!"

I didn't realize how uptight he was about the FCAT test. I didn't think he gave it a second thought. But, obviously I was wrong! He was really concerned about passing the test. I really think its wrong to put that much stress on a 3rd grader over one test. If they don't pass it they don't pass the 3rd grade and that is crazy!

But, still I am very proud of him that he did so well. But we all knew he is smart!

Kayla and Ryan get their results next Thursday. I will keep you all posted.
