Miss Adler

If you are not a blogger you are probably not aware of the updates made for posting.  I am NOT completely sure they are making my blog life easier!!  I STILL can't find the spell check (and I need it WAY worse than the "strikethrough" feature!!!)  But this post isn't about tech stuff it is about ADLER!!! 

She is such a busy girl and she LIKES it that way.  This year she opted for indoor soccer rather than basketball.  She thinks she isn't very good at bball but I think she does just fine.  One thing is for sure though... she IS REALLY good at indoor soccer.  She works REALLY hard and it pays off.  She had one goal on their season opener 5-4 win.  The game went into sudden death overtime even--how exciting!!  I DO enjoy indoor soccer.  It is very action packed and climate controlled!!!

She played 2 quarters of goalie and really ROCKED it!!!  She has always been a great goalie.  Defense and footwork are her "things" and that also carries over to catching and 2nd base for the Ripits.

They have also begun practicing for their softball team, the RIPITS.  We just found out that they are playing tournaments every weekend in May, June, and July except one PLUS league in Derby which is 1-3 games per week!!!  This will truly test ALL of our dedication to softball!!  I think it is WAY to much for these little girls but we shall see how it all pans out.  They do love their team and this year they should really dominate as 2nd year 10 and under.  As far as academically she is doing really well and enjoying the WIS (Winfield Intermediate School).  The WIS is only about 5 blocks away so she walks home most days and is enjoying having a little more "grown up" freedom.  She goes to an after school program on Wednesdays at the Methodist Church called "TWEENS" and plays dodgeball after school on Fridays.  She has also switched from the violin to the double bass in orchestra so she has been staying after 30 minutes a day for extra practice.  We had her IEP yesterday with Mrs. Frazee her gifted teacher, Mrs. Madrigal her homeroom/math teacher, and the assistant principal.  It went really well.  They said she is doing great academically and gets along well with her teachers and classmates.  We talked about her plans for SAGE projects and she is planning on doing a video for the upcoming 4th graders about a tyipical day at the WIS.  I can't wait to see what she comes up with!  Maybe she can give me a few tips on video editing when she is finished!!
