Phil's Field Day
Phil's final day of kindergarten got off to a great start. Even though his birthday isn't until the end of the month, his teacher had a construction paper crown waiting for him when he arrived this morning.
Most of the day was spent playing games out on the football field with the first through fifth graders. I ran the frisbee game. Other games included Milk the Cow (a relay where water is transferred from one bucket to another via sponge), Tug of War [1, 2, 3], and races like the Twin Race, Wheelbarrow Race, and Crab Race.
Phil had a great time (the kids-vs-grownups tug of war was his favorite event--kids won, of course) and will miss seeing his classmates and teacher, Mrs. Swanson, so much over the summer.
Thus ends Phil's Kindergarten adventure. Stay tuned for School Career II: The First Grade-ening.
