In Holden's school the counselor does character trait instruction. Every month has a featured character trait (honesty, helpfulness, etc). Each month every class chooses one student that best represents that month's trait. For five years now, Holden has been named a Character Kid. This year's trait they picked him for was goal-setting.
Report cards were sent home October 19th and Holden made ALL As! He is super proud and so are we! Forth grade is going great! He adores his teacher. We've heard nothing but good things about her and she's living up to her reputation.
Holden also joined 4H this year. All 4th and 5th graders join at his school. They hold the meetings in school once a month. He is excited to be the class secretary for the 4H meetings. It is a perfect job for him. He has had lots of note taking practice at our Christian meetings!
Another exciting thing for Holden is that he has a friend from our Kingdom Hall in his class this year. Since we do not celebrate Christmas, his teacher has decided to do one holiday craft and one winter craft instead of the usual two holiday crafts. (I told you she was great!) Holden and Kayla get to choose the winter craft, make it then instruct the rest of the class how to do it. Yet another perfect job for Holden.
Hard to believe he's 10 already! Does that make anyone feel old? Sure does me!
