The kids look forward to Field Day every year. I was excited that I was able to get away from work to volunteer for the 3rd grade group and get to see Collin.
The stations this year were:
- Tug of war
- Clown race - put on clown clothes, run to the cone, take off the clothes and then run back to tag the next person in line
- Sack race - traditional 3-legged race
- Obstacle course
- Sanding distance jump
I signed up for the sack race but was requested to work the standing jump....which turned out to be a lot of fun. The kids stood at the white line, swung their arms to help propel them forward in their jump. The farthest jump for a boy and a girl from each grade was written on the board which made for some fun competition. In between the grades, I tried it out and jumped 5' 3"....and without pulling a muscle! Ha! Collin liked seeing me when it was his class's turn. He ended up jumping 4' 10" which was about average for the boys in his grade. The farthest boy jump was 6". Wow!
The water and popsicle station was a hit because, although it was a nice day, it was getting hot outside.
I stayed for lunch to talk to Collin's "crew" and asked them what was their favorite from the day. Most of them liked the jumping, were confused by the Clown Race and wanted seconds of the popsicles. Sounded like they had a great time though.
