Saul is enjoying 4th grade at Perry Elementary School this year. He is fully-included with Resource support. We are very proud of Saul's academic growth. We have seen a big improvement with his reading and writing skills over the past few months! Saul's self-esteem continues to grow as his academic and social skills grow.

In his free time, Saul keeps very active. After school Saul is involved in skateboard lessons and swimming classes. Saul continues to progress in Tae Kwon Do and recently earned his Blue Advanced belt. On the weekends Saul is on an Ice Skating Team and he participates in community theater. Even with his busy schedule Saul manages to be on of the biggest helpers in our family. He is always available to assist where and whenever anyone needs him!

 

July 2005:
Saul recently tested for his GREEN BELT in Tae Kwon Do. He was also excepted into the Leadership program at the Martial Arts USA Studio. Master Kim said he was very impressed with Saul progress and his commitment to the program. We are all excited about Saul's progress and his continued growth in self-esteem.

Saul had a wonderful first year with our family. He joined our family as a shy and quiet little boy. Now Saul is probably one of the more out-going Silcock boys. Saul is involved with many community activities. He is an active member of the MYART Children's Theater group. He recently completed the production of "The Wizard of Oz" and will begin rehearsals of "Anna and the King if Siam" in September. It was amazing to watch the effort Saul put in to learn the various dance steps and songs. Saul also learned that as part of the ensemble he needed to work together cooperatively with the other actors in order for the show to turn out right. Saul enjoyed acting on stage so much that he is anxiously awaiting his next performance.

Saul is also an Orange Belt in Tae Kwon Do. He takes classes three to four times a week. Finally Saul is taking swimming lessons with the Golden West Swim Club. Last year Saul did not know how to swim at all. This summer Saul is such a good swimmer that he will be taking surfing lessons at the end of August.

Saul also did very well this school year as well. He was a fully-included third grader. He and George were in the same class at Moffett Elementary School. Usually the schools don't put siblings together with the same teacher, but in this case the boys were very supportive of each other. At the beginning of the school year Saul had only very basic academic skills. Now as the school year is ending, Saul is able to read and write. Saul even learned how to sign his name in cursive. Saul has also made friends at school. After school he and his friends often visit each others homes. What a big growth spurt for Saul! We are excited about his academic and social progress.

Saul's adoption was finalized in April. We are so happy that Saul is our son officially! I think we were all relieved to know that the long wait was over. After the court proceeding we (Saul, mom and dad) went out to breakfast and for a trip to Toys R Us as is the adoption day tradition in our family. Of course Saul thought the trip to Toys R Us was probably only second best to finally having a "real mom and dad."
