the Mile

Our students have been preparing four the mile run, four laps around the track. Today was the day, and Ms. Leom jumped at the chance to "run out" to the track and snap some pictures.

Students grab four colored slips of paper. Each time they round the track, they drop their slip into the bucket. This is how the students and Phy-Ed teachers keep track of the number of laps.

(Note, often the girls seek the camera out and pose for pictures ... the boys, I need to walk and find them ... they are generally agreeable once I point the camera ready to "click". If your child isn't featured very often, they may avoid the camera. I like to respect their wishes.)
