Savannah's 3rd Grade Field Day

Savannah helping her team in tug of war!

Today was the long awaited annual field day.  PSE does it differently than most schools and actually buses kids off campus to a YMCA field for an entire day of field day.  Savannah was especially excited this year because once you're in 3rd grade you have a LOT more freedom at field day.  In the past, you had to travel in assigned groups in a particular order and switch stations when the horn sounded.  However, this year they just gave each kid a punch card and after they had at least tried every station they could repeat any one they wanted . . . and hang out with who they wanted . . and basically have a day of freedom to play outside with their friends.  This is also the first year that prizes were awarded so things became a bit more competitive.  :)

I volunteered for the entire morning while Preston was in school . . . and boy was it an awesome day for field day!  The weather was perfect and the kids were all super well behaved.  Savannah headed to the hula hoop station first and after 30 straight minutes of hula hooping they called time and she was awarded a first place ribbon with the 5 other girls that also accomplished the amazing feat.

After the individual stations the kids all sat down for class verses class races.  Each kid had chosen two activities to participate in.   Savannah was able to play in tug of war and the spoon race, both of which Mrs. Langeland's class took second place in!

It was a fun day and especially nice for Savannah as she brought home a first place ribbon and two second place ribbons . . and got to come home early with me too.  A fun way to start the weekend for sure.
