random thoughts...
On the way to drop of Miranda today, she reminded me that we forgot to get valentines for the other kids the babysitter tends. I told her we didn't have any and that I was sorry. I could tell she was crushed. I dropped her off and she seemed fine. However, I felt bad for her because she was looking forward to giving valentines. I stopped by the store and got the only ones they had left--Power Rangers. I took them back to the babysitter's house. The babysitter felt bad that I had went and got some, but she also told me that as soon as I left, Miranda had burst into tears...Crisis averted...
Abby informed me today that reading is way too boring when there are so many other exciting things to do with your time. Although on some level I agree with that, on another, I wish she would discover a love for reading. I think she has kind of a short attention span...
I found out today that for the EPPP the scaled scores are like those used on the SAT or GRE...I was happy because I think my score of 719 was 2 standard deviations above the norm...That means I was over the 98th percentile... :)

Does that mean you passed the exam? I never heard
I guess the only thing I can say to you on all of that crap is I TOLD YOU SO. I don't understand all of the worry and procrastination that goes into taking these tests---I have been out of college for over 30 years and can still pass (75% barely but pass)the forestry examinations they give. When I was working near the University I graduated from they called me over and gave me the final for a class to see if I could pass---I did---they nearly crapped.
i think you just haven't found the right book for her then - maybe she needs one of those adventure ones - maybe even a choose your own adventure where you have to keep making choices while you read to keep the story going
also - way to go on the test!!!!
Congratulations, that's great that you scored so high on your test! I'm glad you went and bought Miranda some cards. :) That could have been a traumatic experience. I say with Abby, you should just still set a certain amount of time every day where she has to read. She might develop a love for it, and she might not. It's still good for her intellect.
