Ali's Friends

Ali went to a birthday party for one of the girls in her class Thursday. It was both fun and a hassle for her. She had fun with some of her other friends, but she also had to deal with a couple of other girls who were picking on her. That is one thing that Kris and I worried about this past year with Ali being in the multi-age class. She is still only 6 years old and there are other kids in her class that are already 9. and the majority of her friends are at least a year older than her. She did great as far as learning. By the end of the year she was starting to do 2nd grade math and is already one of the best readers in her class. But we were worried about how she was going to handle things socially. It is really only two or three girls, and usually they are fine, but when they all get together they are trouble with a capital T. HOpefully things will be better next year when those kids are out of her class.
