District Champs!

Saturday Trevor and I spent all day at HISD's UIL Districtwide Tournament.  Hayley tagged along and hung out with us and her best friend who was there.  It was a long, fun day.  Trevor competed in 3 different events including a new area, Impromptu Speaking.  He had only been to 2 practices for this but the magnet coordinator said he was a natural and so good at talking about any subject she gave him... I believe that! 

Since he was in a speaking event, he dressed up nice and went with the bow tie for a little flair.  People kept commenting on his "tux" or "James Bond" look.  It was pretty funny.

The kids I coach in Oral Reading did great and came in 2nd and 3rd in the district. Trevor tied for 3rd place in Number Sense, an incredibly hard math-in-your head only test of 80 problems in 10 minutes. So this year Trevor medaled/trophied in 3 of his events during UIL competitions - Listening, Social Studies and Number Sense. All those areas included lots of practices, meeting before or afterschool each week. He learned a lot (I think) and more importantly, had a blast with his friends doing it all!

 

The kids all did a great job and our school came out winning the whole thing again for the 2nd year in a row - District Champs!
