Kabir, you turned 8 earlier this month!
This was a wonderful year! We have been impressed on how quickly and how much independent you have become! All you need now are reminders but who doesn’t?!
As a young 8 year old, you are well read child, who enjoys fiction from Dogman to Harry Potter (You have read 7 of the 8 books and are now re-reading them!), all the books about battles and various wars, to biographies. You love books and are always found with one, unless playing.
Ms. Beeny your teacher, recently shared that on your field trip to the nature reserve center, there was a free library. You picked a book from it, found yourself a tree trunk and sat on it to read! After finishing the book, you went back and joined your group.
You are also writing stories and poems at school. This is one area that we have been working on. A creative child that you are with many wonderful ideas, sometimes they don’t transfer well on paper. Your teachers have been very excited about your latest myth and I can’t wait to read it myself!
Your favorite things to do are building Legos, reading and playing Minecraft!
This year you started taking piano lessons and have your first recital coming up soon. You recently played the below piece for a performance in your class.
You also picked up Fencing and Tae Kwon Do and seem to enjoy them both.
You are curious and are a keen learner. You have a great sense of humor, which is enjoyed both at home and school.
Days have gotten busier for you with some homework every day but weekends allow for some unstructured time, which you love.
In general, you are keeping good health, we are seeing some improvements with asthma and eczema, which is a hopeful change that with some more time it will get even better.
For your birthday, we had Norah, Mamu and Mami visting. You celebrated in school with your favorite Rice Krispie snack and at home we celebrated by spending the day at the Salamander Resort, doing some of your favorite things; playing Foosball, doing archery and spending the day together! First thing you did after getting back home was completely built the Lego set you received as a gift!
You made a donation of various kids items to A Wider Circle, in lieu of a birthday party. I hope you always do for others and others do for you.
It’s been interesting to see you grow, change and also stay the same. Excited to see what year 9 holds!
We love you, Kabir! Stay curious, stay kind and be humble, always.
Mama
