Brayden is such a good kid
He loves being very active and involved
He told me YESTERDAY that he was on the
Math Counts Team
Oh, yea, and there is an
all day "battle of the minds" on Monday
In Farson. (Where is Farson?)
He's one of two 7th Graders on the team
And apparently he's holding his own
Way to go, Bray!
Brayden has a tough time with spelling
Bryan says it is just hereditary
If you know Bryan, you've heard something like...
"Mark Twain said 'I respect a man who knows how to spell a word more than one way'"
or
"Chalkboards & whiteboards don't have spellcheckers"
In California Brayden was done with spelling tests,
here, he's not.
So Bryan challenged Brayden...
Every Friday morning I give them a pre-test
Brayden writes down the word (he knows not to copy Bryan)
And Bryan spells the word
For every word Brayden gets right and Bryan misses
Bryan pays him a dollar
(it started as $10 - that didn't last long)
Last Friday, Brayden got $4 out of Bryan
Way to go, Bray!
Just so you know, Brayden has pretty tough words,
the one I can remember that Bryan missed was "colonel"
that the boys love practicing on.
It is nice when they beg to do their spelling words!
Brayden was a December
Student of the Month
The theme for nomination was HELPFULNESS
They gave him some snack coupons & a certificate
Way to go, Bray!
Brayden is also great to help take care of Brett
and the dog
and he does most the snow shoveling.
Bryan is always asking him to do something.
Other than teasing & bossing his brothers
And a messy room
He's dang near the perfect kid!
We're glad he's part of our family!

Way to go Brayden! We're proud of you!!
good job you guys. fun to read your posts. I was just telling Jill that we should have packed the kids in the car today and went to see ya, but just layed around and was very lazy. Hey Braden, your Dad was probably looking on my paper when we were doing spelling in school. Can I get a loan? Keep up what your doing. Jim, Jill and fam
