I Was Runnin'

Madi wanted to go running with me last night so both she and Riley came for a one mile interval train.  Actually, they chose the interval portion :)  I just followed along with whenever they needed a break.  They did a really great job!!!  Madi is an awesome sprinter. Not much endurance, but definitely strong at speed for short distances!  She'd do fabulous on a track team!  It was a lot of fun!

Today she is working on a cover made out of duct tape for one of her notebooks upstairs - just for fun!  It looks really cool!!  She has a math project to finish this weekend.  She has to find an article online or in a newspaper that deals with math and then explain what she thinks about it.  She chose a really great one about credit cards and it has quite a bit of information she'll need to have explained to understand how the economy works and what it is trying to say about credit, but we have the master of finance in the house so she won't have any problems!  And I have no doubt that Jeremy will be able to help her understand it in simplistic terms.  Should be a great paper!

Madi's science teacher told her that she absolutely loved her science project and that she adored it.  She earned a total of 15 points out of 15 points.  I'm sure she'll find that she has great grades this year with all the work she's putting into things.  One of her goals was to work harder on her projects and she is definitely doing that.  She has really come SOOO far since last year.  It's really great to see!!  And she's taking so much pride in her work which is also very important.  A great feeling to know you've done your best.

Madi earned a 100% on her place value test in math this week as well.  Has been another awesome week for her!!  She will give her student council speech on Tuesday to find out if she has won the position of secretary.  She decided to run for secretary instead of V.P. as she liked what the secretary gets to do more than what the V.P. gets to do.  Thought she made a great choice as she really would do a great job on it!!
