Last year Chase did the Reading Triathlon. He had no desire to do it again but Bridger was really excited to try it. Bridger earned his Bronze medal in the Reading Triathlon. He had to read 8 books, do one hour of service and run 4 miles. For his service project, he counted raking our leaves last fall. He ran at least 4 miles in the running club at school. He was so excited to earn his Bronze medal. He's hoping to earn his silver and gold. Luckily he loves to read so it's been really fun! February 24, 2014
Bridger was feeling all bad that he has a summer birthday and doesn't get to celebrate it during school. Luckily his teacher picked a day and celebrated his "un-birthday." Bridger came home so excited that he got to celebrate his un-birtdhay at school. The teacher had all the kids write Bridger a birthday note. They said some very nice things about him. I can tell that he is a good friend! February 28, 2014
Bridger really wanted to participate in the Story Telling festival at his school. I knew we were going to be out of town so I tried to discourage it but there was not changing his mind. He picked out the story "I was so mad." He worked so hard on memorizing it. On February 18, he performed his book in front of his class during library time. The next day he was told that he was chosen as one of the 1st grade finalist to compete in the next round of the competition. He was so excited!!! So on February 27th we went to a little program and he competed against 7 or 8 children from kindergarten through third grade. He worked so hard on his book. He needed to make it a little longer so he added a few extra lines. He did a great job!!! I thought it took so much courage to get up in front of a big group and tell his story. He got a certificate and he picked out a candy bar. As we were walking out to the car he said "I want to do that again next year." He's so brave! Unfortunately he didn't get picked as the finalist to compete at the district level but we were still so proud of him!!!
