Field Day is a way for the elementary schools to transit from the last week of school to beginning the summer vacation. The idea is for children to have fun playing games and friendly competition.

There were a parachute and relays, water games, racing with a spoon and keeping contents from spilling over. I don’t remember being involved in another field day until yesterday as I had agreed to sub this week. It felt weird going back after having been off for a month. I felt awake when I left the house but somehow grew tired after having entered the building. I don’t know why. Every time I entered a classroom I seemed to go deaf.
