Jayden W
Hi, my name is Jayden W. and I’m in the 5th grade at Branson School Online. One of my achievements was building a fence with my dad. I also built a custom bicycle with a motor with my dad and I did most of it on my own with some help. It took us about a week to complete. Another achievement of mine is that after joining Branson I started to improve on my reading and I thank my teachers for all their help.
Some activities I like are helping my dad on his cars, helping my mom in the yard, riding bikes, and playing soccer with my friend Austin. I also like to help my mom cook and bake and my favorite is to make homemade peppermint patties. I plan to get even better on my reading this year and to make some more stuff with my mom. I also plan to help my dad finish his car too.
We love you Jayden and are so proud of you. Keep working hard, you are doing amazing things.
-Love Mom and Dad
