A Great Way to Start Fall Break!

With a water balloon fight! The September reward for the first graders was for however many pelts (reward coupons they get for doing something good, right or nice) they get that number of water balloons to throw at the first grade teachers.

So on Wednesday, all the first grade classrooms lined up around the square blacktop on the playground armed with a wal-mart bag full of their appropriate number of water balloons.


Ladybug and her friend.

All the first grade teachers. A couple were decked out in rain gear. Mrs. Brown just wore her clothes (rather a change of clothes) and took the water like a champ.


And it begins. They began with anyone who had one balloon and they could stand up and throw them. Then if you had two balloons etc.

Jessica's teacher.

Mrs. Brown and this other teacher really got in to it. Any balloons that didn't get broken they fought to get them and throw it at each other. They really had fun with it.

She got Mrs. Brown in the back.

I was asked to video record the event so I gave Mrs. Lynn my camera to take pictures for me. She got one of me as I was covering my mouth saying Oh My Gosh! The teachers were really getting into it.

The kids had a really fun time with it and I think the teachers enjoyed it as well.

Batman even got into it. Mrs. Brown gave him a water balloon and then some of the girls so nicely gave him one. But he didn't want to throw them! He had at least four water balloons in a bag when we left and finally popped them when we got home.
