Field day

The Physical Ed teacher always organizes this. It is usually a bunch of games. In the old days it was actual track and field type events but here at the elementary it is made up games of various sorts. They encourage team work and healthy fitness. Poor Mr. Graber (the teacher) has had to come up with a Plan A and a Plan B, in case of rain. We are fortunate to have the Sports and Aquatic Center across the road, so we will be able to use that facility in case of rain. That is the building where the swimming pool is, and an indoor walking track, wrestling facilities and courts for basketball and volleyball. We also shelter in the wrestling mat room in case of tornadoes. I have a few things to get done before school, so I will be back later. My student will have a "regular" morning, I believe, as the upper grades participate in the afternoon.

It's always good to have at least a Plan A and a good idea to have a 'B' as well.

I don’t believe I have ever asked how many more years do you plan to continue to work?

Our school used to do running long jump, meter dash etc and now does fun games as well. I hated field days when I was young. It was so boring. I won two ribbons but it was still so boring.

We never had days like this when I was in school. I hope it didn't rain and went off without a hitch. Have a great day.
