My LITTLE big 5th grader

4th grade is almost over....only today, tomorrow, then a half day on Thursday and Ethan is officially a 5th grader.  He made A/B honor roll, perfect attendance and a pin for making his goal in Accelerated Reader.  He was in the top for checking out books from the school library, #6 in the Top Earners of 4th grade and #21 Overall Top Earner for his school in AR scores.  He rocked the end of this year!!
  This doesn't include the reading contests and awards he received from the public library.  He got a gold medal for reading 20 hours.  He was trying to win their summer reading program where children have a chance to win a gift card to Boarders.  For every two hours they get a raffle ticket, he didn't win but really enjoyed participating.  Needless to say, Ethan LOVES books and we are at the library quite often!

 







  We have now started football and he loves it.  He bugs me to get there early and gets upset when I don't let him stay late.  The coach told his wife the other day how well Ethan was doing and that he "is" a football player.  I know I'm getting it from his wife, but it still makes me happy.  I sneak up there early sometimes to watch him practice and he is very much into it!  I can't wait to get some pictures of him in his gear.
