We got to school early this morning for "Live to Give," and there's a plan for a new drive for food, a competition of sorts between two different barrels, one for each team playing in the upcoming Super Bowl. Madison and the other students were working on the barrels somewhat this morning, arriving early for Live to Give.
She's enjoying school. She loves dodge ball, something she was talking about on the way to taekwondo tonight. She is getting better at it, and just as fun, she's enjoying it, and she's enjoying the newest thing in taekwondo now, which is sparring. Daddy sat nervously as Madison put on her gear and went to war against a few other students tonight - it was her first really session with kicks and punches and all sorts of aggression. Madison was blocking, and kicking, and punching, and lunging forward with counterstrikes. Of course, I'm sitting there the whole time, anxiously looking through the window for any moment I need to jump up, trying to control myself so I don't jump up and rush in, and I see her taking a few hits here or there, but it's nothing, she says. She's got the gear on that protects her, as do all of the students. And furthermore, she had such a great time out there. Daddy, tense with a slight sense of anxiety, was worried for no reason. She's really loving it out there, sparring. This was her first time against other students with much more experience and practice, so as you would expect, the results were a bit mixed on how well she did. But there were some good moves in there, and I was trying not to cheer too loudly.
Madison got a 90 on her test with inequalities, and is starting off the year pretty good in that class. We're studying volcanoes too, which is convenient because we found a book downstairs to donate, one all about Surtsey, a volcanic island that formed between 1963 and 1965 just off the coast of Iceland. It was a great opportunity to talk about the formation of islands due to eruptions and magma.
Meanwhile, she's also in another class about entrepreneurship, and of course there's her health class as well. She's got an A average in school, and things seem to be going well there, which of course makes us very proud and very happy.
Tonight we watched a few episodes of Star Wars Rebels, as that's what Madison has been into lately. We're also reading Peter Pan some more - we've decided to read the first three books of the series, and we just might keep on reading them all after that. We have eight books from the "Peter and the Star Catchers" series, and Madison and Mommy are all about it right now. The lunar eclipse is still an ongoing thing going on as this book two wraps up, and it's just a funny coincidence. Or is it?
In other news, the state of New York is run by pretty repulsive people. But Daddy has very few fond memories of the place anyway. To think that's where my ancestry comes from. No wonder we left.
