Grades

On a great note, Madi had a fabulous report card!  With a 100% in math (woo hoo!!) and all the other grades above a 94%!!  So good for her for working hard to keep her grades going so well.  She's hoping to finish the year strong and I have no doubt she will!!

She also got chosen to be a part of the talent show this year.  She will be performing the song "Safe and Sound" by Taylor Swift with one of her friends.  She'll also perform her Zumba routine.  It will be next Tuesday at 8:30am as well as 7:00pm.

Yesterday she was able to go on a field trip with her class to the Mesquite Rodeo.  She loved it.  Talked a lot about it and a 13 year old girl riding and all the tricks they did.  She was able to share some popcorn with a friend.  She could have brought some of her money for souvenirs, but I reminded her that she was working to save up for an iPad and she'd have to decide where she wanted her money to go.  So she saved it.  Awesome choice - especially seeing that she already has about $100 towards it and is only $300 away.  Sounds like a lot, but she'll get there in no time.

This weekend we're making cookies, muffins and lemonade to sell at the garage sale we're having.  Should go great!!  Madi gets all the profits from it.  She'll also sell some of her old clothes and rollerblades that don't fit and get the profits from that as well.  I'll be teaching piano lessons over the summer at home so she'll watch the girls in the playroom or let them watch tv in our bedroom and we'll pay her $20 a day. Will be helpful for us as well as her.
