Kindergarten Field Day 2011

Reagan's school held their annual Field Day for the kindergarteners today.  It was a beautiful, sunny day.  The kids had a great time and were completely exhausted by the end of the day!

sitting on their towels waiting for the 1st event to begin
My favorite kindergarten girl
Reagan's first event ~ the torch relay
Run Reagan!
Her team came in 3rd place
the 2nd event ~ the bucket pick up and put down
they had to pick up a cow bell at one station...
a stuffed animal at a 2nd station, run around a cone and put them back
Her team came in 7th in this relay
Next was the plunger ball race
it was very hard keeping the ball on top of the plunger
sometimes, you had to cheat and use 2 hands!
or, the ball would fall!  (Her team came in 3rd in this event too, but she wouldn't let me get a picture of her)
the last event was the noodle race
all the girls had to hold onto the noodle and run ~ teamwork!
Her team came in 4th on this event
After lunch, they had a "tug of love" contest
Ms A's class competed against another kindergarten class
PUUULLLLLLLL, PUUUULLLLLLL
Ms A's class won!!
Next girls from each class competed against each other
Reagan trying to get her team fired up!
go girls!
Heave, Ho; Heave, Ho
Ms A's girls won!!!
Ms A's kindergarten class 2010 - 2011
How sweet are they?
After tug of love, they were rewarded with popcicles
why is it so hard to get a natural smile out of her?
the classes then went to the egg on a spoon race
careful, don't drop it
balance, balance
Reagan's team tied for 1st in this event ~ they put 8 eggs in the basket in 5 minutes
On to the hula hoop contest
Reagan needs a little work here (I can't help her, I can't hula hoop either!)
We went into the gym to play Star Wars (kind of like dodge ball, but a lot more rules)
Once your hit with a ball, you have to sit and wait for an ambulance driver to come pick you up.  Then, after 5 jumping jacks, you become the ambulance driver so the other player can get back in the game ~ confusing I know!  Here's Reagan being the ambulance driver, waiting on her patient
Reagan picking up her patient.  Not many pictures of this event ~ parents got to play this game with the kids!  I was exhausted by the time the game was over!
Last of the day was Water Play
they had several pools set up with sponges, water bottles, and other toys to play with
Since they were the last class to play in the water, they were the only ones who got to get in the pools
Relaxing at the end of a long day!
