Great Grades

Another round of all A's!!  Spelling grade was 100!  Her LEAP grades were good too!  Mostly 3's which means meeting expectations and a few 4's which means exceeding expectations.  Awesome job Madi!!!  She earned a free kids meal at Rainforest Cafe for the all A's.  Will have to pair up with some friends whose kids earned it as well and make a fun lunch of it sometime.

Speaking of friends, Madi is making some really great choices.  Annaliese has been so mean and rude to several friends.  Started a lot of girl drama.  Madi wanted to go play a game with someone else a few days ago and Annaliese pulled her arm and told her she had to sit next to her.  So Madi didn't play the game.

I talked to her about it.  Told her that she has the right to play the game and she shouldn't let Annaliese boss her around like that.  It's not a healthy relationship.  Told her that friends should want the best for you and not try to drag you down too.  And just emphasized that there are so many other great girls to hang out with - why be pushed around and told what to do like that?!

So she's made some GREAT choices with friends the last few days.  Playing with Hannah, Kayla, Riley and Aimee.  All of whom are awesome and sweet and great role models.  They're respectful of one another.  Great people.  She hasn't played much with Annaliese or it was just for short periods until Annaliese pouted and wouldn't play the game anymore that they were playing.  Trying to help foster the good relationships and planning some playdates with them soon.
