Puppies
Puppies are cute, puppies are sweet, They like to run round and round my feet. They like to be cuddled and to lick my face, And to play tug of war all over the place.
The Clouds Are Grey
The clouds are grey with no silver lining, But I know He restoreth my soul. The sun today, is dully reclining, Yet He saveth me from woe. The bad in this world may quickly be climbing, But He, my heart, does know. In the end, this world, to Him will
Elijah
Ahab was to have Elijah’s head, But Elijah ran away instead And was fed by birds some measly bread. Then came a famine–there was no wheat, No food for a woman and her son to eat. But, thanks to Elijah, their food was complete. Elijah stayed there ’til God said
Piano
Piano is just beautiful. It’s sweet sounding-ly musical, My fingers tapping on the keys, It’s nice sound drifting through the breeze; And as I hear the sweet sound drifting I then feel it… My spirit lifting.
my poem -Marinda
I love life, It can be a big strife, But every day keeps improving , And it keeps me moving, And it’s so much fun, To go and get spun , And that is my poem, All done!

Tests for Students Under Age 12
Four separate levels of testing have been developed for the Junior Class students.
(Note: Since students are on different levels of learning, some age groups will obviously overlap.)
- Beginner test (approximate student ages: 5-6)
- Intermediate test (approximate student ages: 6-8)
- Junior Elementary test (approximate student ages: 8-10)
- Advanced Elementary test (approximate student ages: 10-12)
Tests for Students Age 12 & Older
The Senior Class Students (over age 12) take high school diagnostic exams from the National Testing Center ™ (NTC). This diagnostic testing is based on levels consistent with the national GED and ACT.
The diagnostic tests cover 22 subjects, and because they are administered every 3 months, student progress can be monitored and adjusted accordingly throughout the school year.
After the tests have been corrected, parents keep the score sheets so they can compare and monitor their student’s progress.
Anyone may use the Kimber Academy testing. It is not limited to the Academies alone.
To order tests for your students, contact the Testing Center by clicking here.
The tests will be corrected and analyzed at the NTC and returned within a week.
Class Rules
- Please use a name on Zoom that we can identify you with, specifically the students’ names.
- An appropriate name would be “Nathan Smith” or “Nathan & Lisa”
- “SpiderMonkey88” does not let us and the other students know who you are
- Because your camera will be on for most of the meeting,
- Please wear Kimber Academy appropriate attire.
- Please stay in classroom appropriate locations in your home.
- Please refrain from distracting activities, such as eating or moving around during class.
- We will give you time to socialize and make friends, that is a very important part of education and growth! But during class time, please keep discussion (including chats) with other students relevant to the class subject.
- Similarly, please keep comments relevant to the class subject.

First Time Connection
You will need to create a free account at Zoom.us before you can join the class.
Connecting to Class
If you click on a class and Zoom says “The host has another meeting in progress.” you can either wait for the previous class to end, or join the previous class if it is available to you.
If no one connects to your class within 5 minutes, please first try to do a “hard refresh” on your browser. You can find instructions on how to do that here.
If that doesn’t work, reach out to the class instructor on the Instructors page. Texting will be easier for them to respond to than calls, in case they are working on a problem.
Audio
Video
If you cannot see us, you may have slow internet. You can do a speed test to see if you have enough speed. Typically you want to have at least 2-3 mbs upload and download speeds for a clear and steady picture, though more is always better.
If we cannot see you, you may need to plug in your webcam. If it is already plugged in, turn it on with the camera button in the bottom left of your screen. Move your mouse (desktop) or tap the screen (mobile) to view your Zoom meeting controls.
