Year 1, Term 1 Exam (2016)

We are done with term 1 for school year 2016. Been working on the kids upcoming exams, and here are the final questions. (I’ll be serving chocolates and ‘tea’ as we go through each section.)

I will be recording the oral narrations. Hoping I will be able to transcribe all of their answers for documentation purposes.

**The questions below are based on Ambleside Online, our main Charlotte Mason curriculum guide.
