Fantastic Field Day

I'm a bit behind the times, but wanted to share our field day nonetheless. We had a wonderful, busy, exhausting field day a few Fridays back. Our wonderful related arts team created an entire day of events that revolved around the theme "The 50 States". Students traveled to different states and did activities that went along with the history of each state. The day was a blur, but everyone had a great time - me included (I might have had more fun than some of the students!!). The kids couldn't stop talking about all of the fun activities!

Let the games begin!

Students did an "Eskimo Pull" when they traveled to Alaska.

Group games in the multipurpose room put our teamwork to the test.

Clickers!

We have MAP testing next week, which means that we had to spend a lot of time this week reviewing what we've learned all year in the areas of math and reading. Reviewing is not the most thrilling thing for most students, so I decided to use SmartBoard clickers to make the math review more exciting and engaging. We practiced with the clickers the week before and the students LOVED them! I loved them, too, because they showed me every student's scores without me having to do anything! How handy dandy. The clickers were a great resource to help students practice important concepts and I just know that they will do great on their MAP tests next week!

Pure joy using the clickers! Look at what pros they are :)
