Field day

I know it must be hot playing outside for a 15 minute recess when it is 90 degrees out but I can't imagine spending all day outside for field day. Field is comprised of 18 different stations in which all of the classrooms rotate throughout the day. Each station is about 15 minutes and none of them require the use of the bottom sitting. I stopped in for an hour or so last Friday and was excited to see Faith having so much fun. So often the kids are sitting in class. They have to in order to learn but what can you learn from playing outside that you can't learn from sitting in the classroom. Some of the fun activities Faith and her friends participated in were potato sack races, sponge bucket filling, parachute ball games, walking path, flag circle tag, jumpy bounce house, firetruck blow up crawl through game, obstacle course over the playground, popsicles, water sprayer soaking, and so much more. She absolutely loved it. I wish I could have stayed longer however the heat was just too much for Champ considering he is so little. He was really so hot that he didn't want to play anyways. Faith finished off her morning with a picnic lunch with her friends and headed inside for some cool air. Her favorite part was the popsicle station times three.
