Field Day Fun!
FIELD DAY WAS SUCH A BLAST!
POST WRITTEN BY TOMMY AND JUSTIN
To start off, the top two most fun events were shoe fly and the water brigade. Another fact is that our class was having a hard time doing the centipede and our class kept falling and trying and it was lots of fun! Then we beat the 4th graders at the long jump! Next, we had popsicles and if you would pull them apart then you would have 2 popsicles and they were really, really awesome. Then, we did frog it, where you have a four square ball and a toy frog and then you use the four square ball and put the toy frog on the ball and try to bounce it into the hoop. After that we did the hula hoop challenge. There were 3 boys and 3 girls. The three boys were Justin, Conlan and Quintin. The three girls were Taegan, Ava and Paige. Then, in the middle of field day we had lunch. After, we did awards. Field day was such a BLAST!
Field Day Shirts Signatures
If your child would like to bring their field day shirt back to school to obtain signatures this week they are welcome to do so! Please keep in mind that they will be using sharpie and it unfortunately will not last forever.

Field Day is Monday
Don't forget to bring a water bottle and dress for the weather on Monday! Students will change into their field day shirts when they arrive to class. As of now, it looks like it might be a bit of a chilly day so athletic pants might be best as they will be outside all day. Please bring a light jacket as well.
