Kindergarten Field Day

On Thursday, Emily participated in an end-of-the year event at her school....FIELD DAY!! It was supposed to be the coolest day of the outlook on the weather forecast (66) but the morning was beautiful. I took off work to be there with her and we had a perfectly sunny morning with no wind. It was gorgeous. The children were separated into groups of 2 and then they could pick which events they wanted to partcipate in. Emily and her friend Grace "hung out" together. Their first station, and Emily's favorite, was wading her bare foot in a pool of water and picking up as many marbles as possible with their toes.

A grape sno-cone was the second stop at 9:30 AM!!


This activity, called "Frog-fling" was also a favorite that they learned to do in their PE class.

Lots of fun with hoola-hoops!

And the famous three-legged race!

After the field day events were over, the classes had their spring parties. The mom that planned ours was very creative. She started with a beach theme. Here, the kids are surfing down the "hill" on a beach towel while two other children pulled them.

Emily is showing off her "sushi"....she wasn't so sure until I told her it was just a fruit roll-up, rice krispie treats and a gummy worm! Very cute snack.

The kids all had a great time and I was so glad I got to attend with Emily and see her interact with other children in her classroom. What a neat morning! And now we're about ready for first grade......YIKES!!!!!!
