The Final activity every year is either a pie or ice cream eating contest!   You may choose either one and it is completely an optional challenge.  The rules are as follows:  If you are choosing the pie, it must be 9" and have a crust and substance as filling.  NO WHIPPED CREAM ONLY PIES!  You must eat the entire pie without utensils.  If you are choosing the ice cream, it is a pint of ice cream with three fun toppings of your choice ( gummy worms, M&M's, etc.), again no utensils.

Since this is a virtual challenge it needs to be a times event.  Fastest time in each category wins!

Thank you for letting me share all these challenges with you! I hope you have fun with them.

All Field Day Lovers!!

This week would have been one of my favorite of the school year!  Field day gives us all a chance to relax and have some fun.
This year it will look a little different.  Tomorrow and the days after you will find videos of games for you to play at home.  Some of these challenges are run similar to minute to win it games.  This means that you have 1 Minute to complete a task and record your score.  
Some games are small team challenges 1vs 1 or 2vs 2.  Others are just for the family dynamic challenge teamwork.  All are for the fun and a few laughs. Please video any challenge and the score, send the video to me via my school email and I will post them to my blog for others to see and attempt to challenge for the top score.  I will also send them to Mrs. Hopkins to post on the school facebook page to ensure we have reach  as many families as possible.  You may pick and choose any activity you wish ( all family members are encouraged to join in).  You may also repeat any challenge.  There is no specific day for participation, do them as you wish.

Keep an eye out for the challenges to start.......
Please feel free to create your own activities , send them to me and I will post your ideas as well.
