The last few posts were about Jordan's participation in the Warwick Olympics...Now it is Neil's turn!!! The second graders had an activity day today. Each teacher had a different activity... another mother and I "escorted" the kids to each classroom.
In the first class, they were divided into two teams. Each team was given a bag full of items that they were to pass over their head to the last person who put the items into another bag. Okay, so, Mrs. Bailey and I should have figured out what came next...but, we didn't...they had to make a list of the items...typical shower game, eh? Both teams did really well, they identified 14 of 20 items.

The next game was called Silent Ball. Luckily, Mr. Murphy refereed this game...because there were just too many judgement calls...they had to toss the ball within x seconds; it had to be tossed from "boy to girl" or "girl to boy"; the toss couldn't be too hard/soft/short/high/long/etc; and I am sure I left out a lot of other rules...if you dropped the ball or broke the rules, you had to sit down. Last one standing was the winner...

And, who doesn't love Musical Chairs? It was fun watching the kids, even the "coolest" kids enjoying this classic game.

Pictionary was one of the more challenging games...poor Neil's team didn't get any of the drawings...and the other team guessed almost all of them! Neil was not happy!

In the last class, they played Volleyball...well, sort of...they played "Balloon Volleyball". This was quite entertaining....
All in all, it was a great morning...and the kids had fun...although I think emotions were running high...
Speaking of emotions....tonight we watched Marley and Me. I wanted to see it earlier, but the DVD came out around the time that we had to put our cat to sleep...so, the timing was not great...it was a very cute movie...and I am glad I waited.
Right now, Jeff and I are watching Grand Torino. Hmm...I wonder how many times the "F" word and "S" words are used in the movie? They must have worn out the keys on the keyboard!
