Tracking and Fielding


Okay, so I took about four or five more pictures than this, but the program is being stubborn and I gave up on trying. As you can see from these TWO pictures, we had a great Track and Field Day on Friday. I am pleased to report that I didn't hear a word about whose team was winning, and I am happy also to say that this is probably the first year that I didn't have anyone accuse anyone else of cheating or elbowing or anything like that. (If only I could have kept my class from crossing the track DURING the other classes' races...)

Two weeks to go. Hard to believe. It's also hard to believe how much we're going to need to get crammed into those last two weeks. I think we might be almost done with the 7,285 end-of-year assessments/tests, but there is still more left to learn. Believe me, we have to keep going full-throttle until almost the very end.

In addition to the exorbitant amounts of benchmark testing, I will also be out on Tuesday morning. We are supposed to go watch some other teacher teach reading along with our curriculum specialist. I apologize for this, because I realize it's poor planning to do this during the next to last week of school, but we have no choice; it is out of our hands.

Have a great week! More to come...
