Adam is going to his first Taekwondo tournament on May 16th here in Dublin. His instructor said this is a great first tournament since it is just the Taekwondo of America schools here in Ohio (4-5 schools). It will be small, have a lot of the instructors he already knows, and lots of help along the way. Since he is just a yellow belt, there is no sparring. He will do his form and his one steps for the judges and then be done. I guess it helps them learn how to deal with the pressure for when they do start sparring. It also helps for testing (which he will definitely be ready for on June 10 or 11th!). After testing he will then move on to become an Orange belt and get all his sparring equipment.
May 22nd is Adam's Authors' Tea. He will read aloud a story that he has written in "Writer's Workshop". This special piece will have been revised, edited, illustrated, and published by Adam! I believe he said he is writing a chapter book on Five Nights at Freddy's (it's a video game every kid seems to be in to). Kids are encouraged to dress up for their tea. We asked if there was anything he wanted to wear and he has requested a black bow tie and top hat! ( I think that is what Freddy wears). Thank goodness for Amazon - they are on their way!
The last day of school is May 29th!! Where did this year go???
