Last night, we read in How to Win Friends and Influence People about how important it is to remember and use people’s names as well as possible.  In the morning when I got up, I tried to remember what we had read, but had already forgotten.  I had to ask Kelly, who, of course knew.  The smile chapter was much easier to remember.

Kelly’s and Christian’s Stanford Achievement test results for the year arrived yesterday.  Both of them were well over the 90th percentile.  I think this test is much better than the California Achievement test they took last year where they were both in the 99th percentile in everything.  At least this test showed us the areas where they tested well.  The programs we are using for the homeschool appear to be preparing them quite well for these kinds of tests.
