Adalynn is seven years old and is the daughter of Matt and Kristen. Adalynn says the best part of her school day is science time. Her favorite science topic so far has been the study of weather. Once the school day is over, the greatest part of her day becomes the time she spends with her baby brother. When asked what she was thankful for this past Thanksgiving, she said that her two brothers were at the top of her list. She is very active in sports, playing soccer, basketball, baseball, and doing gymnastics. Adalynn would like to have a job as a hairstylist as her future career.
Seven-year-old Cade is the son of Michael and Amy. Cade looks forward to Mrs. Corbett’s math class, and he is enjoying working on his times tables. After school, he heads to a pond by his home where he likes to go fishing. The pond has all kinds of fish and turtles. His family makes a delicious soup from the turtles that he catches. He participates in several sports including coach-pitch baseball, ice hockey, and basketball. During this month of thanksgiving, Cade is grateful for his brother, his family, and his dog. When Cade grows up, he would like to be a chemist.
