Run for the Roses: Our Stick Horse Races

Each kindergarten student made a stick horse with yard sticks donated by Ford's Furniture.  Each class ran a race, then the top two 'horses' from each class ran for the roses.  We had a great time.

The final race:

Run for the Roses 5/3/13

For testing kick off, HES celebrated Run for the Roses. We have watched Ky Derby videos and watched a segment from the movie Seabiscuit. Ford's Furniture donated yardsticks for the student's stick horses. Each K class held a race. The top two 'horses' from each class ran for the roses. Ms. Nikki's class had the derby winner. Each child had time to play in inflatables and to ride a horse. This was definitely what the kids call 'the best day ever'!!!! I will try to get the video of our race posted tomorrow. It's on the iPad at school.
