You asked for a writing piece from us parents in a million words or less to tell us about your child and as I sit here I probably could list a million things what I love about him but that is not going to help you teach him and get the best out of him. I hope this gives you a little insight into the wonderful 11 year old little boy he is and we are involved parents that want the best for all our kids...
Braedyn is coming to you from Hillsborough Elementary where he had wonderful elementary years. He is very excited to start middle school and not apprehensive at all. He is excited to learn new things and grow.
We moved here when he was 4 from Minnesota. Now that he knows how cold it is I don't think he will ever want to move back. He has 2 little brothers, a 6 year old and a 9 year old. They are very close and miss not having him in school with them.
He takes very good care of them and watches out for them.
He loves baseball and basketball. He plays both of them. He is on a travel baseball team. His favorite teams are MN Twins, MN Gophers, and FL Gators. So if you ask him to write, it may have to do with sports or his favorite teams. His passion is sports and a talent of his is knowing players and stats...if he could remember what he read as much as he can remember sports statistics he would be doing better in comprehension. We always joke as we see a future broadcaster or coach. He is reading Al Michaels recent bestseller.

He is the typical first child....overachiever, perfectionist, people pleaser, sensitive, rule follower, caring, a helper and is generally organized. He is quite the thinker, so he may sit back and analyze a situation first. He is pretty easy going and has a lot of friends that will be at middle school with him. He is pretty quick witted. He will help a student or help someone that may need it because he has a big heart.
He can be distracted in a noisy or chaotic environment. So I guess he is used to being distracted at home with three busy brothers, but can just be reminded to get back to work. Although I tell him to dream big try not to do that in the classroom... day dreaming isn't conducive to concentration.
His strengths are math and science which he got from his father. We have been working on some math worksheets from the AIG teacher at HES to try to get his brain back to thinking mode after not being in school since June 5th. Something he is not used to. He likes to be challenged when it comes to math. I have found it is always hard to find something that boys are interested in reading. If he is reading a book that he enjoys, I do not have a problem getting him to read. We have tried to tell him he isn't going to always like what he has to read since I have been through that before. He read a book over the summer that was in the Killer Species series.
His other strength is science which science projects are always fun...seems I have a few growing around my house of three boys.
Our summer is over...
We hope you take good care of him and that you all have a wonderful school year. He is there from 8:30-3:30 so he is with you longer than he is with me. Every first day of school brings tears as my kids are growing up. I am proud of him and his achievements so far and I know at middle school he will achieve even more. Good luck with this new group of incoming 6th graders!
This is how I am feeling sending my oldest off onto a new school...I haven't had to do this in 6 years! So if I am still sitting in the parking lot at noon, please tell me to leave....
