5th grade mini-field day

The entire 5th grade at McGraw earned an extra field day for all of the "positive points" they accrued throughout the  school year.  The three 5th grade teachers along with many parent volunteers provided the kids with a whole afternoon of fun activities to help celebrate their upcoming graduation.  After a nice picnic lunch with family and friends, the kids were all divided up into different teams, and Hayden was on the Red Team.

 

The Red Team:  Hayden, Tucker, Ashely, Aaron and Mason

 

 I didn't get pictures of all the activities because I was volunteering as one of the photographers and running around taking pictures of all the other teams as well, but I was able to capture a few of Miss Hayden and her team.

Passing as many m&m's as possible from plate to plate using plastic spoons.

 

 

Seeing which team could keep a hula hoop in motion the longest.

Finding a piece of bazooka gum in the middle of a plate full of whipped cream and blowing a bubble without using any hands.

Sometimes, the paper plate full of whipped cream "mysterisously" flew up in the kids' faces by some adult generated "wind". 

Using water guns to push a ball around an obstacle course.

One of the relay races.

There was also a three legged race, a tricycle race, an egg toss, water balloon games and even a station where the kids had to see who could eat three saltines followed by three giant marshmellows the fastest.  It was a chilly day out, but that didn't interfere with anyone's fun!
