Yesterday at our faculty meeting we decided to give the students and all-school activity to end the day. We typically plan at least one all-school event per quarter, and we haven't done one this quarter. Student council had asked if we could play kickball sometime. Another teacher had the idea to do it outside since it was supposed to be so nice today. Another teacher thought we could play Mat Kickball, which is like regular kickball except people don't have to run if they think they'll get out. They can stay on the mat, having more than one person on the mat at a time, and the other team has to bounce the ball on the mat to get the runner out.
Well, the weather didn't quite cooperate today. It's been foggy and windy, so we decided to make it work in the gym. We had four 8th graders pick teams earlier today. Two teams played one inning while the other two cheered from the bleachers. Then we swapped. At the end, we had hot chocolate, cookies, and freezies.
There were some great plays and some AWESOME catches! I heard some of my kids say that was the most fun game of kickball they've ever played. I'm kind of sad I didn't get to play. Next time we'll see if teachers can get drafted...
