karate class

I took the boys to watch/participate in a karate class yesterday. The older ones have been asking to take karate for a while and we have been searching for a place where I do not have to work just to pay for lessons for 3 boys. Well, we finally found a place to the north of us in a town called Tipton. I never thought of looking there, the price there is a third of the cost for three boys compared to other places we looked in the area. All the boys had a different reaction to the karate class. Let's see if you can guess who did what....

1. Which boy had a temper tantrum?

2. Which boy did not want to participate-just sit and watch?

3. Which boy jumped at the chance to participate and was eager (and a little aggressive)?

4. Which boy participated, played around a little, then settled down?

Answers: 1-Liam (did not want to sit, want to run around-raisins and crayons made him much happier), 2-Marcus (the oldest-cautious, would rather watch first, then do), 3-Cale (first one to try anything), 4-Ewan (likes to play, likes to learn)

The results: I guess we're signing up for karate. I brought home 3 registration forms to fill out and the boys were working on their kicks last night. Even Marcus said he would like to try it. The class is for 6yrs and up, but the teacher said that Ewan did fine and could be in that class. Being in gymnastics has really helped Ewan to listen and follow directions. We wanted to sign them up for karate this summer-mission accoplished.
