Buckskinners Rendezvous
Today we walked to the Rock River Park just down the road from our school where the grounds were set up to represent life in the 1800s. Families and friends are invited to attend this very hands-on event on Saturday and Sunday, too! We lucked out again today with wonderful weather. We are one lucky group of fourth graders, for multiple reasons!

Fourth-Grade Track Meet!
Today we had a beautiful day for the fourth-grade track meet at the high school. All the fourth graders from the four public elementary schools gathered together today at the high school to put to the test all the track and field skills they have been learning in phy. ed. class. A special thanks to Mr. Sykes, our phy. ed. teacher, for organizing such an amazing event for our kids. They had a blast!
Ready to run the 50 meter dash!
Waiting to do the long jump.
Tyson giving it his all at shot put!
Waiting their turn for shot put...
Good form, Jarred!
There were nine different periods at the track meet. When kids weren't signed up for any event during a particular period, they waited in the bleachers. The little cards on their shirts helped them to remember which event to go to during which period - super helpful in keeping this day organized!
Our ladies waiting for the high jump...
Jump, Jaelyn, jump!
Waiting for the next event..
Families were invited to help cheer our kids on!
While the kids waited for their next events to be called, they could go to the 'contest' area of the field. Students had to catch a ball shot high in the air, make a soccer goal, make a basket with a basketball, and throw a frisbee into a net. I think that's Rylie in the blue trying to catch a ball shot high in the sky!
The longest distance run offered for students at the meet was the 800 meter run (two times around the track). Teagan and Tyler were two of our brave Barrie broncos to get out there and do it! Way to go, Teagan and Tyler! (Caleb and Rachel in the other class also ran it!)
The kids brought water bottles to stay hydrated. It was a hot, windy day!
Nina and Olivia just finished up throwing discus!
The girls getting ready for the hurdles!
Way to go, Summer!
Oliver landing his long jump.
Mr. Sykes (our amazing phy. ed. teacher) talking to some of the parents.
The kids listening to instructions before the relay.
Two of our Barrie tug-of-war teams battling it out with the fourth-grade teams from other schools.
Fourth-grade spirit fingers! We had an amazing day. Check back again soon, and I'll have videos posted!
