8th Grade Field Day!

Today was an amazing day filled with much spirit, enthusiasm, and great sportsmanship.  My students worked so hard preparing for field day.  First, with a superhero-themed Field Day this year, we had to get our uniforms into tip-top shape.

We were representing…ICEMAN!!

It was 90s day for the staff, but I still got down to business helping the kids decorate their "ice"-themed shirts!

After we had our shirts in order, we had to come up with our spirit-showing materials.  The students made an “Iceman” poster, and we choreographed a dance to the 80s classic “Ice Ice Baby.”

We started the morning off with a bang in gaining 10 points for spirit with our beginning-of-Field-Day chant.

Though we did not win at as many of the events as we would have preferred, we did win in the Super Soaker relay and our performance at the beginning and the end of Field Day will certainly go down in ECMS history.  Our latter performance garnered 71 points which was unheard of!  The next-closest team came in at 55 points.  All-in-all, my homeroom, as team Iceman, had a beautiful time.
