Adnans Ride
Adnans quite proud of his Honda del Sol. Despite all the rust spots its quite impressive! He does his own mechanical work, everything from brakes and oil changes to engine repairs and paint jobs. He just spent over $600 on new red rims!
Feel free to send me pics of your cars, pets, etc, I'll post them here.

Giving Thanks
Thanksgiving Delights
On Thanksgiving Day we’re thankful for
Our blessings all year through,
For family we dearly love,
For good friends, old and new.
For sun to light and warm our days,
For stars that glow at night,
For trees of green and skies of blue,
And puffy clouds of white.
We’re grateful for our eyes that see
The beauty all around,
For arms to hug, and legs to walk,
And ears to hear each sound.
The list of all we’re grateful for
Would fill a great big book;
Our thankful hearts find new delights
Everywhere we look!

S2S wishes all the students, families and staff at IT a wonderful, safe and Happy Thanksgiving.

All Shapes and Sizes
Who says math can't be fun? Shocking as this may seem, Ive been accused of being overly obsessed with numbers (go figure!), but frankly I'd much rather work with shapes. Better yet, I prefer playing with them.
Being an old school kinda guy my favorite games have always been the most basic (I prefer the term classics), and here are a couple I seem to spend way too much time playing. They are Flash-based so you can play them right on your browser:
Seriously, you cant ever hate Tetris.
And if people ever accuse you of being a square, heres one involving flipping a rectangle into a hole. Try Bloxorz.
Check these out when you're bored and post your high scores in the comments section. Also let me know of other games like these which improve spatial thinking.
Just in time for the Thanksgiving break!

We're Famous!
Great news for the IT basketball team. They were featured on the front page of the newspaper, in full color, and also on Page 3 of the local section, again in full color.
Check out the article at the Post Standard.
S2S wishes our team, The Eagles, and Coach Bramoff all the best in their first season in 32 years.
It is not going to be an easy year for them. They have to travel by bus to Van Duyn Elementary School every day for practice, since we dont have a gym at IT.
Their first game is on Tuesday, Nov. 20th against JD. It will be held at JD High School at 4pm. Please turn out to support them in this historical event!
