Field Day Written by Cody, Sarah and Halie Field Day was a blast! Boy oh boy. It was very hot on field day! Every year people like to spray themselves or other people with water bottles. There was cold water and popsicles. There was a song everyone knew, “Cha Cha Slide”, so everyone gathered around the DJ. We had 45 stations to do. We traveled with our partners. Lots of people wanted to do limbo and jump rope. Some of the stations, like juggling, were hard! Some of our parents helped and stayed for lunch. We ate lunch with our friends and our families. It’s almost the most fun day in the year! We hope field day next year is twice as much fun.
Mrs. McAllister Written by Urwa, Katie and Taylor Guess what? We interviewed Mrs. McAllister in a summer safety interview. She shared some rules we should know about summer safety. Summer bike riding was our first question and she told us to wear a helmet, use hand signals and ride your bike in partners. Next we wanted to know how to stay safe at the pool. We learned we need to always stay with a group and never swim alone. She also told us we should only swim if a life guard is at the pool. We also wanted to know about Mrs. McAllister and her job. She studied counseling and psychology in college. She has been a school counselor for six years and that’s a lot! She works with kids and classes, teachers and parents. She teaches kindergarten, first, second and third grade classes. She works with them on tattling and self control. She works with about four classes a day. When people ask how many kids she has, she tells them 800 because she is at school every day with us. At least 25 kids come to talk to her each day! When she is not working with kids, she answers emails, phone calls, talks to teachers and plans lessons. She knows all the teachers at our school and some at other schools. She likes reading, riding her bike and going on a boat. Mrs. McAllister is a great counselor!
