Yesterday was Madilyn's quarterly honor roll ceremony. She was excited for us to visit her school and see her receive her award. 
Seth has been working very hard at school as well, so we recognized his effort at home prior to their departure. We are very proud of his individual talents and he was happy for his sister.
This is a photo of the certificate that Madilyn was given at the ceremony. We are collecting them and I plan to frame them together when the school year ends.
Madi continues to be dedicated to school work and homework assignments. She has had some difficulty with some of her Math homework recently so we have been working with her in the evenings on those assignments. Once we explain the concept for her and she understands it she does a great job. 
She loves school and was very proud of herself yesterday. I think it means a lot to her to look out into the audience at her Dad, Brother and I there to acknowledge her hard work.
This is her teacher, Mrs. Graham, who was also Seth's 5th grade teacher. She moved to the 4th grade this year, so Madi is now her student. The man in the photo on the left is the Assistant-Principal of their school. 
And finally, this was Madi getting up to receive her award. Afterwards she said that Seth even gave her an undercover thumbs up as she was exiting the stage! That made her very happy because Seth typically doesn't want to do anything that isn't "cool" at school, especially related to his sister or his parents. We may "humiliate" him in front of his friends, although he did tell his dad and I "hi" on our way out as well.
