Last school project of the year

Christian had to do a book report for the last big assignment of the year. He read the book Shiloh and then had to do a report on it. When he came home the middle of May and told me I thought it was going to be really simple, well I was wrong. They had to do a Cereal Box Book Report and the directions he brought home the next day was three pages long. He had to create a cereal and decorate a box using the story and then he had to do a 2 minute commercial advertising the cereal. It was really fun but doing it in two and a half weeks was very challenging. He got a great grade and loved doing it so I guess it was worth it. He named his cereal Shiloh Charms and decided for his commercial he wanted to be an Irish man selling the cereal so in the video that is why he is talking in an accent (it's not really Irish but he tried)!
He had to name the cereal and draw a picture on the front of the box, he also had to put a prize in the box. Shiloh is a dog and so the prize he did was a dog tag.

On the left side he had to list the Ingredients, which were the characters and setting. On the right side of the box he had to write the summary of the book.On the top he gave the title, author and the ratingThe back was the hardest because he had to make a game or something. He decided to do a maze but kept messing up so I think he had to redo it like 3 or 4 times before it turned out the way he wanted.

I couldn't get the video to load so I will try again later!

Award

Christian had a hard month in April. He seemed to be acting up at home and school. He was arguing, fighting and just misbehaving. Dan, Christian's Mom and I all sat down and had a long talk with him about his behavior and then he was grounded for a week from friends and video games. After the talk his behavior and attitude was so much better and his teacher and friends at school recognized he was doing better as well. So for the month of May he got Student of the Month. We were so proud of him great job Christian!

Angel Game

A couple of weeks ago Dan did some phone work for a friend of ours and he ended up paying him with Angel tickets. It was so perfect. We went last Wednesday and it was a 4 o'clock game. So we got a babysitter for Megan and took Christian out of school about 20 minutes early. The seats were incredible, front row right behind third base. We took my cousin George with us and we all had so much fun. Right after Kendrick finished warming up he throw his ball into the crowd. A man sitting next to Christian caught it and gave him the ball. He was so excited but then we noticed some players giving autographs so he went down and got Bobby Abreu and Torii Hunter to sign his ball. It was really cool.The Blue Jays tied it up in the 9th so it was Rally Monkey time!Angel's ended up winning and it was an awesome game
