This is the time of year I stress out. The kids handle it fine, but not me:) It is time to begin prepping for all of the exams coming up. The National Latin Exam is the first one we will be getting ready to take. Morgan, Bryan and Aaron will all be taking this exam with Morgan taking a higher level test. Then she has to get ready for TeenPact. There is a lot of homewrk that goes along with this 4 day government program. She has to read a book, send letters to her state representitve and senator, write a one page bill on an issue that is important in her life to be presented to the TeenPact Legislature, complete a political fact sheet, Scripture memorization, and analyze three bills of interest. This is an awesome opportunity for her but it will require much work on her part.
Next is the ACT in April. Morgan practices everyday for this and the SAT. She does the on-line course offered by The College Board. Her SAT and SAT II's will be taken in June.
Bryan, Aaron, and Allison will take the ITBS in May. That is not as much pressure but still something we take very seriously around here.
It will be a busy few months coming up, but so worth all of the effort.

How long have your children been taking Latin in order to take the National Latin Exam? My son is in Latina Christiana I. Do I wait until he is in Henle?
Nice blog by the way!

They have been taking for about 4 years. You can take the exam sooner than that. Go to the website and print off samples and the syllabus to give you an idea of what they need to know. There are several levels.
You've got a lot going on -- keep up the good work, mom & students!!
