Field day 2011

I have about 20 blog posts to do for the last month and I am going to do my best to catch up.

Here is Ladybug's field day. I got to help with this one. They don't allow kids to come to the school with you so I haven't been able to volunteer but today he was allowed to help.

Batman and I ran the bowling station for the second and third graders and then stayed for the the Kinder and first grade and walked around with Ladybug.

They had about 30-40 stations set up. Each child got a plastic bracelet with the stations numbers on them. They competed against each other (teams of four). Then you would mark on the bracket what place you got at each station. First place was one color, second another etc. The kids were free to choose what ever stations they wanted and when they wanted. Each group of first graders had a fifth grade buddy to walk around with them. Then at the end of they day, they took each of the colors they earned and made a necklace.

It was a very fun day. They kids were all taught about sportsmanship and just about every group that came to the bowling told me thank you for being there and they all encouraged each other and told each other they did a good job.

It was very well put together.
