Early Taste of the Tests

I didn’t know, until I got back to China, that in Canada, Grade One kids don’t write exams. Well, Sienna took her final exams three days in row. Chinese, English and Math, each on a day. The areas to be tested had been clearly defined. Totally light weighted if we compare with what the local kids do. Still I love the idea of giving her a little pressure she deserves. It’s comforting to see how she learns to handle the challenge, or a taste of it.
