Third Grade Free-Throw Contest

I was greeted with laughter and cheers as I entered the gym today during 3rd grade resource time.  The 3rd grade teachers held a free-throw contest for all 3rd grade students.  This event is in conjunction with

the language arts story, "Allie's Basketball Dream," where the main character gets a basketball and she struggles through holding onto her dream of becoming a basketball player.  All six teachers had an individual class competition and then there was a shoot-out for first place!
