K test and puppy dirt lesson

 Giving the puppies a lesson in mixing dirt...apparently.

Esme's Kindergarten test was today, it did not take very long at all.  We filled out some forms, let them take some copies, and then they had her go into a room with the tester for about five minutes.  She scored 95% on her letters and sounds, missing just a few (h, y sounds, recognizing a lower case q by itself).  She scored 100% on numbers, counting and simple math.  She could not tie her shoes or skip through the room - but did hop on one foot and write her name (points taken off for bending her wrist over and gripping with a fist).  Overall she did very well - the tester had her IEP in hand and was duly impressed considering that.  They'll see her starting in July for the 'ease into school' program, which will be every single day for four days, then three days, then one day.. and the regular program will start in August.

We planted things out in the garden.  We have a genuine flower bed started in there now.
