Field Day 2015

The last week of school is an amalgam of parties, recess, and classroom cleanup. Most of the actual learning ceased as soon as the standardized tests occurred in May so the last few weeks have mostly felt like a formality. Sigh.

Wednesday was Field Day, and I volunteered to help wrangle students so I was on campus for a while. The first two hours were for the K-2 students and the second were for 3-5. I manned the scooter race for both sessions. At first, though, I didn’t know where I was supposed to go so I watched Finn play something they called hockey.

Once I found the list of assignments tucked behind a hoard of people having coffee and pastries, I high-tailed it over to the scooter area to help the teacher who was in charge. It was not the most exciting volunteer activity I’ve ever had, but it was fun to see the different students come by and try their hand at scootering. I wasn’t fast enough with my phone to get a picture of Finn when he was there, but I got Ezra.

And Henry.

Speaking of Ezra and Henry, they had a play date the day before and at Ezra’s request we went to Five Guys for dinner. They wrote notes for their bulletin board and I took their picture.
