W Day

Today was W day, and we were very busy! In the morning, we had our first grade picnic! We all wore our tie-dye t-shirts and looked great! The first graders were provided with watermelon at the picnic which fit in great with our W Day theme! It was a lot of fun and great to see so many parents were able to make it out. We got a little soggy from the rain that ended our picnic early, but that didn't stop us from having our W Day "Water Balloon Toss!" When the rain shower stopped, we paired up and went outside. We tossed the balloon, and if our balloon didn't pop, we took a step back. If our balloon popped, we were out. Soon there were only two left. Om and Alex went the longes without their balloon popping!



The Winners of the water balloon toss:

Today we celebrated R Day by wearing Red. We also had a "Read-A-Thon". After a morning full of fun Field Day activities, a Read-A-Thon gave us the rest we needed to finish out the day! Some of us seemed a little sleepy and even fell asleep while reading! I guess we really needed the rest!
