Still Collecting

Ethan is continuing his quest to be the top "Box Top" collector in his class. He is currently in 2nd place. His teacher has provided each student the opportunity to earn rewards based on the amount of Box Tops they bring in. So far, Ethan has earned a homework coupon, extra 15 minutes of computer time, lunch with teacher, play WII game with teacher and a few others. Each month they have the opportunity to earn these items. So . . . . . . . if you are looking for a place to dispose of your Box Tops, send them our way. Ethan, Mrs. Moore and Eastern Elementary will thank you! Last year the school earned over $1,600 just from Box Tops for Education. Thank you!!

Playin' some good "D"

Today both Ethan and Ashton had their basketball games. They hadn't played since 2 weeks before Christmas and haven't practiced since then either. You would think they would be a little rusty, but they were NOT at ALL. They both won their games and Ethan's game came down to the wire. They won at the buzzer. Wow, who knew that 3rd and 4th grade basketball games could be so exciting?

Here are a few pictures of them as well as a video of Ethan playing some pretty good "D". He was matched up with an AMAZON sized child. Ethan did very well against him and even kept him from scoring a basket.

Just so ya know . . . in case you didn't already know . . . the Sears Tower is not called the Sears Tower anymore. Seriously? So a British Insurance Gr oup named Willis Group Holdings is now it's current occupant. Therefore, the Sears Tower is now called Willis Tower. Dumb! Just like I call all the other named changed facilities/buildings in America their original name . . . I will continue to call this building by it's original name. So there! Oh - and it hasn't been called the Sears Tower for a while now. . . like since July.

Yay for Today!

Today is the 1st snow day of the 2009-2010 school year. I am actually happy for it. I'm sure if you ask me later . . . my happiness may have disappeared. At least for now, while I am still warm in my bed, I am happy!
