Friday's Tattler

We had a nice day on Friday. We started the day off with a great pancake breakfast, juice and milk.

Then we awarded the children who had not lost their medals with a gold bead. We will do this every week.

Then we had the Whole School Bee, and Michael, Phoenix and Garrett won. They each got a star for their medal.

Next we went to Ellis Park and visited the horses at Mr. Hancock's barn. He let everyone sit on the pony, and then a giant race horse. We got pictures of everyone, and they will be given out shortly.

We got to feed the horses peppermints, apples, carrots, and soda pop. It was really funny to watch.

Then we moseyed over to the grandstands and got to eat our lunch right next to the track.

The horses ran about 12:50 and we got to watch as they pounded by. It was exciting, and all the children cheered.

We got our picture in the paper at the race track.

Then we headed home for an afternoon of play.

All in all a great day!
