UIL

Trevor with the district championship trophy.

This year I had the opportunity to coach Trevor & a group of fifteen 4th/5th graders in an Oral Reading UIL at the school. We participated in 2 tournaments, one of them being HISD District Meet, and our school won both tournaments. Trevor also participated in the Number Sense UIL event where he learned all sorts of math tricks. Since only 3 kids could compete in each event, and Trevor was so great at Number Sense which overlapped in the competition time with my Oral Reading group, he just competed in Number Sense at both tournaments.

The three budding mathematicians - Jonathan, Melissa & Trevor

The tournaments were all day events so there was a lot of down time in between individual events where the kids could play games together and have fun.

It was great to spend some one on one time with Trevor and have fun together.

And of course, winning is always fun too :)
