Star of the Week - Mrs. Quayle's Class

The week of Nov 11-15 Lincoln was the Star of the Week. Every day Lincoln got to share something special about himself with his class. On Monday he explained his poster, on Tuesday he brought his special Rock Collection, on Wednesday his favorite book "Bears in the Night", on Thursday pictures of himself holding the turtles and on Friday a treat to share. He wanted me to bring donuts, but I ran out of time. We brought Rice Crispy Treats instead.  

 He decorated his poster all by himself.

Lincoln is loving 1st grade. He has already advanced 3 reading levels (book-in-a-bag, yellow star and yellow dot - not sure what that all really means but he is improving). He is doing great in his Math Facts and loves PE and Science. He gets to play sports everyday at recess and told me a couple of weeks ago that "All he could think about was football". 

I got to have lunch with Lincoln for the "Western Family BBQ".  He dressed himself!

I love that he is getting so independent.

Soccer

Lincoln played in the U8 division of the AYSO soccer league this Fall. His team name was the Sharks. He had a great coach, Coach Chuck. Shawn and I both felt that Chuck was great at teaching the boys soccer skills, but more importantly about respecting one another, and how to have fun.

These poor boys, the first half of the season was HOT! They would be out there in 95+ temps in the sun, no shade, running their little hearts out. Lincoln has worked hard on running fast(er), controlling the ball, and becoming a goalie. He was pretty impressive as a goalie. He could stop 3 in 5 shots and would dive to save the ball. It was awesome!    I tried to upload a video but everything moved so fast that we don't really have a great video of Lincoln with the ball.

Lincoln saved 5 shots in a row during this game!

His 1st trophy.

We are so proud of him!
