tonight i was able to meet with madelyn's homeroom teacher. madelyn wanted to make sure that i saw her "haunted house." this one was the only one without a name on the front (i think it is under the house), but madelyn confirmed it was hers when i got home. i had a feeling it was hers because everyone is smiling.
there was another gem in the hallway while i waited for my appointment - madelyn's "all about me." while the whole thing was cute, i loved that she described her hair color as "gold."
the report with madelyn's teacher was great. we discussed the concern matt and i have, but she did not see any signs of our concerns. her teacher said that she wishes she had a whole class of madelyns. madelyn is a good student, a good friend and a generally sweet girl. she is above level on her standardize testing, so nothing too much to worry about performance-wise. not that we are all too surprised.
as i was leaving, madelyn's teacher brought up her student council speech. i thought i had already posted about it, but since i couldn't find it i guess i didn't. she spent over two hours writing, typing and rehearsing her speech. but she lost the election. i guess most of her class ran and the winners received 3 votes to her 2. she was thrilled that a neighbor had voted for her and that it was so close. here is her super sweet speech:
"i want to be on student council because i like helping others. i was character champion for the past 3 years. i am a sweet little girl. i love school. i have an interest in leadership. i love helping in the community and far away. i packed school supplies and easter baskets for families who couldn't afford them. i also packed rice meals for mexico and haiti.
that is why i, madelyn xxxxx, am the best person to get your vote for student council today."
we just love this girl. love.
