Eli came home yesterday with a new screw in his glasses.
Apparently, Ethan, a kid at school, taught him how to tap, tap, tap on the
lenses and make them fall out. So, that is what Eli did, which, of course,
ended in the loss of a screw. The secretary inserted a new screw, but it is too
long. We told Eli to be careful and we would get the right screw put in this
weekend. Tap-tap-tap. Thanks, Ethan. We told Eli that he probably should not
try any more of Ethan’s ideas. Hopefully, he listens.
Eli’s class turned in the most Labels for Education, and we
are having a party for them tomorrow afternoon. They are going to paint rice
crispy gingerbread boys and girls with flavored ice cream syrups using
paintbrushes. The kids do this at Joe’s Crab Shack every time we go and really
love it. I am hoping Eli’s class does too. I really don’t want to do an ice
cream party. That seems so much messier. (The kids absolutely loved the snacks.
They were all very good and scarfed down everything, even the ugly leftovers
from the shapes we cut out in the rice crispys.)
I signed up as the coordinator of the Labels this year. So
far, it has been interesting. We’ve had kids turn in labels without writing
down their full name on the bag. I had to go through the directory to figure
out that. Then, there were all of the labels from last year that did not get
sent in. I had to go through all of those, toss out the expired labels and get
the rest ready to go. We ended up turning in over 4,000 points. That gives the
school 12,000 points to spend as they wish on school supplies. Way to go, kids
of Charter Oak.
We also just found out that Eli grabbed $18 in the
grab-for-cash cube. Good for him to grabbing it and holding it! He got to do it
because he sold so much Fannie May candy. Not sure how Tori did.
