One of Brock's third quarter electives was Track & Field. He was pumped because part of the class was an end of quarter track & field meet against four other magnet elementary schools. Brock competed in three events that day.
He was a little tired after his 400 meter race. The fourth and fifth graders competed first in their 800m (he explained third graders were not allowed that long distance) and he was feeling a little overwhelmed to run his long race. He kept with it and did not give up!
Brock did a great job in his 100m event! As I had signed up as a parent volunteer, I had the luxury of taking sideline pictures!
Brent secured an awesome video of his third place finish for his 100m!
Brent and Papa (my dad) had both come to watch Brock too! Unfortunately they both had to head out a little early so missed his final race - it was a long morning at Southeast Raleigh High School!
Finally, Brock's final event - 100m Relay. Brock was stationed at Leg 2.
A few weeks later, the first graders visited the Walnut Creek Wetlands Center and I was there to help chaperone.
It sure was wet!
They were playing a scavenger hunt - looking up to spot birds flying, singing, sitting on a branch, in pairs, etc. They were also exploring the ground - the trail had boards scattered along the trail to lift to find little critters.
My favorite were the pvc pipes installed along the path. Each one had little frogs hiding out inside!
I loved our little group. It was so nice to see Kade's calm confidence in helping his buddy with his scavenger card too.
The first graders even got to pet a real live turtle and black snake!
My funny lunch buddy!
