Tales Of A 4-5 Something

We don't know where we're going until we get there. We liked what we did! We went on a trolley ride around Portland and then went to Fort Williams Park. We were there for 3  hours. We got to go in the old forts, play in the grass and on the rocks with our teachers, and watch the waves. Some of the rocks were very slippery some people slipped into the water.

The twist is you can only finger dribble a ball for 10 seconds and if you pick the ball up you can’t put it back down. You also can’t use the same ball right after you use it. The ball has to be handled by someone else until its not your “poison ball”. If you touch or get hit with your poison ball you have to go to the sidelines for 30 seconds but we played were you just can’t use your poison ball. Once you're out you have to wait to get back into the game until the person who got ...

4-5 and K-1 students found rocks at home and brought them to school to paint for the Lower School Earth Day. All of us got to go to the Lower Field to paint them. We were all a little sad that we weren't allowed to keep the rocks but they look good. We were in the sun painting and playing. It was a fun start to Earth Day.  Elefe and Diego  this is elefe’s rock this is diego’s rock This is the rock river.
