How is spring break going so far? I hope there is a lot of sleeping in, playing outside, and spending time with friends. I spent today with my Grandma and am looking forward to the NCAA basketball tournament starting tomorrow.
It's a fun and simple challenge today. In honor of the upcoming March Madness I found an awesome and inspiring sports story.

Happy reading!!
I feel so sad for there mom dad and family because I bet its herd to do all the stuff you want to do.
ReplyDeleteI think this was a very touching story. It made me think about all we can do and how lucky we are to be able to do the things we do. It took alot of corage for Conner to do that for his brother, it must have took alot of work. This article teaches to never give up on things you really want to happen. I can't wait to see them in Kena.
ReplyDeleteIt was a very touching story I loved it. I loved what it taught people it teaches you dont give up. This is a very good story.
ReplyDeleteThis story was very touching. The love and care Conner showed for Cayden is very strong. Conner was lucky that he was able to persuade his mom to let he and Cayden do the different sports. Hopefully they will achieve the dream they are dreaming.
ReplyDeletei think it is great that connor is trying his hardest to help his brother at sucseeding. connor is a really brave kid and he whould make a great father. there is no words to discribe there love. i wil be be honest i was crying a little while i was reading....... OK maybe a lot.
ReplyDeleteI felt happy when the story said that they won the race. I never imagined that someone would ever do this. I also agreed with Conner.This was my favorite part of the story. I like how Conner is trying to help his brother that can't do much like him.If I was Cayden I would really appreciate what my brother is doing for me.I know that Cayden probably does appreciate what Conner is doing for him.
ReplyDeleteIt was a very sad story because the kid couldn't use his hands and feet. I would be devastated if I couldn't do any sport's. I love that the older brother helped him win the race.
ReplyDeletemy eaction was sad and happy. It was sad that Conners brother Cayden cant talk or walk on this own. I was also happy because they tried so hard to win the race and with their hard work they won! I thought it was kind of Conner to help his little brother out so he could be included in the fun stuff. If I were Cayden I would thank my brother so much for counting me in and caring for me.
