Caden's Shield Presentation

The second big project in third grade is to design your family Coat of Arms and present it to the class.  Caden worked hard to come up with his ideas.  He looked through a book about coats of arms, and he liked a silhouette of a tree they had in the book and the fleur de lis.  He also researched online and found an old Jolly coat of arms that had a yellow and black argyle pattern on it, which he chose to include.

Annabelle is enjoying soccer this season.  She loves kicking goal kicks.  Here's a progression of one of her kicks. 

 

Caden is still loving baseball.  He loves to pitch, and he is doing great at that.  The second half of the season his batting has improved.  He hit a double and triple in his last game.  Here's a video of his triple from Brian's view as the third base coach.
