For those of you that follow Ian's Pokemon career, or those who haven't heard about this before, here is info about the world tournament which begins tomorrow. This will be streamed. They focus on the master division and kids (juniors/seniors) won't be streamed until the final day with the final top 2. One of the great things about watching stream is the commentators explaining what is happening.
For those not already Ian fans here is a great article about Ian's Pokemon journey from age 5. This year Ian finished ranked 2nd in the US and 7th in the world.

Pokemon changed our lives. We used it to help him with reading and math. We traveled to tournaments around the country and around the world and explored other places, history and cultures.
Pokemon can be just a fun game with friends, or a local league you attend weekly but it can also be highly competitive if that is the level you want to pursue.

So....
Here is info for TCG (the card game) which is what Ian plays (he is in the masters division) but I will put stream links for the other tournaments in the comments in case your family likes GO, VCD (video game) or Unite.

Tomorrow is Day 1 of this year's Pokemon World tournament. 12 years ago it was in Hawaii and Ian won 2nd place as a junior. This year it is in Hawaii again and he has big hopes!
Ian has been there all week, hanging out with friends, doing touristy things, practicing and getting used to the time zone.
My belly just flip flopped with excitement for him!
This year the tournament style is set up differently.
Day 1 you must win 6 out of the 8 rounds to proceed to Day 2.
Ties won't help anyone in any way.

A few days before the tournament Ian (he was 9 years old) standing in front of the winners banner imagining the possibilities. Then playing in top 2. Then getting 2nd. It was an AMAZING feeling that we will never forget.

Time to register for fall beginner classes!
Do you have a reluctant writer? Do you have an excited writer but they need inspiration?
I have an answer that is SO much fun (yes, I love my job!). I get to play and laugh and say ridiculous things that encourage kids to WANT to write. Kids get to laugh and play and say RIDICULOUS things that lead to wanting to write!
What IS this magic?
It's called Druidawn. It is an RPG (role playing game) that is similar to one you would be familiar with, Dungeons and Dragons. Druidawn is like D&D BUT with a creative writing element.
My beginner class is ages 8-18, most kids are ages 9-12.
Some of my learners have RPG experience but most do not.
The beginner Druidawn class leads into a plethora of adventures.
Elves, dragons, magic, Druids, mythical creatures, bows with enchanted arrows, potions and fun!
Druidawn® is a cooperative, interactive role playing game that uses creative writing and problem solving to overcome obstacles in a group setting.
