Third grade has started out wonderfully, Madeline has been loving her teacher, who has been teaching 3rd grade for FORTY years! She is wonderful with the kids, and her high expectations have encouraged Madeline to work hard. One of her requirements is that the kids do 20 (yes I wrote 20) book reports per year. Eight of them have to be what she calls a "creative" book report. Madeline finished her second one tonight after about 4 hours of work. I must say she was a hard little worker, and did not require redirection at all. Here is a picture of her completed work, which she is really proud of!
The other thing I've been doing is hanging out at the soccer field. Madeline loves soccer, and is playing in two different leagues. I have a great time seeing her shine out there. I do joke sometimes that I should get a camper to live in out there, but it is all worth it!

Janie, it's always exciting and exhausting at the same time watching the kids do their sports and extra activities. Time goes by so fast, and then before you know it it's all over...
