I don’t know where the last nine years went. I can’t believe Christian is nine already. He’s a wonderful, generous boy who is great at making friends. He loves paper airplanes, reading comic-type books, and vegging in front of the TV.
A quick recap of the past year:
- Christian had a wonderful year in third grade. His class was almost entirely different from his 2nd grade class, which was a big help. He learned to use PowerPoint for class presentations. His class went to the beach and on the ferry.
- He enjoys PE (of course), math and science. Recess is still one of his favorite times.
- He’s enjoying learning to play his new guitar, and he took it to school to share during his spotlight student week.
- He enjoyed another season of soccer on the Red Dragons. It’s not his strongest sport, but he sure enjoys it.
- He has also learned to ice skate, and he enjoys the occasional ice time with Joy.
- I’m sure you all know about baseball from Bill’s blog. He’s become a really consistent player and an asset to his team.
- He had a great year of chess, ending with the State Chess Tournament.
And the year to come:
- Both boys have a summer ahead full of sports camps, VBS, and our trip to Hawaii.
- He’ll be a fourth grader in the fall… one of the intermediate kids.
- He’s excited to re-join the Red Dragons in the Fall for soccer.
- He will play in the Minors or Majors league next spring with the 10-12 year olds.
- Will we be attending the 2009 State Chess Tournament in Spokane in April?
We’re so proud of the loving, smart, engaging boy you are, Christian. We love you!
