[Mdpobc] a proud mom

Great Job Christopher.  How did you all find this.  Brandon's Vision teacher just left and was saying how she has never seen a 1st grader retain spelling words like he has.

Hi everyone,

This past weekend Christopher and I were in California for the Braille Challenge Finals.  For those of you who are not familiar with this it is through Braille Institute.  There are 5 age categories ranging from 1st grade to 12th.  The kids are tested in things like reading comprehension, proof reading, spelling, speed and accuracy (dictation) and charts and graphs.  Christopher came in 3rd this year in his age group.  We are so proud of him.  This is a very tough competition and to have placed is wonderful.  He gets a savings bond.  

I just had to share.
