February 6 Exam is ready

Here is our AO year 1 term 1 as it stands right now. I think it's ready for next week!
I'm going to try doing it in Evernote, so I can take audio recordings of her narrations, to transcribe later.  I will keep you posted!

My intention is to jump around in the exam each day, so that all the narrations are not together, nor all the recitations. I have 30 items. It might be a bit too long, but spread over the week, it might just be ok! Some of these items will be more challenging than others for her to do.

I really want to make this fun. This will be a sit-on-the-couch-under-a-cozy-blanket type of week. And I should try to do tea and snacks of some sort. I'm REALLY looking forward to it. I'm sure she will enjoy it too!
