The Seven Continents (a day of pure joy)


This year's field day theme was the seven continents. Each activity began with a brief geographical or historical lesson about a specific continent.











































After getting soaked, the class had a chance to dry off while getting creative with sidewalk chalk.








Soren's Tardis was extra large.








Once in Europe, the class learned about Germany's renowned Autobahn, then raced back and forth at frenetic speeds.











Was there an impaired driver on the road?


















Pierce preferred the outdoors.


In Asia, the class attempted to conserve water like camels.













In Antarctica, leopard seals preyed upon surprisingly agile penguins.












The morning began with an introduction to France's gift to the United States.


Can you determine what the gift was?






















In South America, groups cooperated to catch piranhas in the Amazon (while trying not to lose fingers).


It didn't take long for groups to develop unique strategies.


















Australian kangaroos hopped (and sometimes stumbled) back and forth.

















The kids prepared for next month's World Cup in Brazil with a challenging game of crab soccer.



















African elephants filled their trunks, then sprayed water into bowls (and faces).
