Reading and Math testing and the reward, Joel Salatin, Hide A way Pizza, video games, baby chickens

Today, my grandson took a math test with 20 questions and made an 85. He took the test in 15 to 20 minutes without asking for help. He sat contently as he took the test and did not need to get up during testing. I am trying to decide if I want him to take another test again tomorrow. I do not want to overdo and have a bad day. After the test we watched the first session of the Workshop with Joel Salatin. This is an effort to teach my grandson to think of a different idea than to what people are usually exposed. I want him to be able to compare different points of view. Then, when it was time for lunch, we went to Hide a way pizza and I let him play video games the rest of the day. Rewards or bribery works. Tomorrow, I may choose to do a field trip instead of another test. We hope to get our new baby chickens tomorrow and a test just will not compete with baby chickens.
