It sounds like just about everyone enjoys getting soaked at Field Day! I don't blame you since it is usually hot outside and you've been running around all day. What could possibly be more fun than a friendly game of "Leaky Pipe", the challenge of the "Water Balloon Toss", or having it rain all over you in the "Sponge Relay"?
There is one thing that can take the fun out of even those games and that 'thing' is a bad sport. At JHH we all want to work extremely hard to be good sports. The best way to do that is by following the most important rule for being a good sport: Always treat your classmates, teammates, opponents, teachers and helpers the way you would like to be treated! Hum...that sounds a lot like the Golden Rule to me!
Since we are talking about being a good sport, let me share a website with you that talks about "How to be a good sport" (be certain you click on the "next page" icon or you will miss the best advice). KidsHealth offers some great tips for showing that you are a good sport.
"Have fun. Don't forget that's what playing a sport is really all about!"
I think that is the best of all because Field Day should really be about having fun!
Now it is your turn. Think of how you can show everyone that you are being a good sport. Or if you prefer, share a time when you observed someone being a good sport. Now get your good sport brain working so you can be mentally prepared for Field Day.
Ms.Roper I'll check out that website.For my
brother Joshua.

Ms. Roper I am glad to have field day. IT is fun and the thing I like is that We don't have to do school work.

I remember one day when i was in Pre-k I saw a kid who was helping his teacher by picking up the water pieces while every one else got in line. I thought that was so nice. Don't you?
