Okay Parents, I know because I am a parent too that projects stink, but if you could have seen how proud these kiddos were today with their timelines, you would do this project over and over again with no complaints!

Women's Half Marathon
I traveled to Nashville Friday afternoon to prepare for a Women's Half Marathon. It was a really neat race since it was only women running it. However, it was the hardest race I have yet to run! There were so many hills (I might should say mountains). When I had to climb a hill at mile 12, I thought I might not finish. We all survived, though!!
Even though it was a hard race, it was worth it because of all the gifts we got. Our medals had a charm that you put on a necklace or bracelet, the bags were reusable, and our bib numbers had our names on it.
Here is the crew that stayed together at the Renaissance Hotel in Nashville. This was the host hotel for the race.
The JHES GANG!
Here are our first timers! They did awesome!
Jennifer Blevins and I before the race.
The post race atmosphere was like a wedding reception. There was table cloths, flowers, and music.
Me and Miss Bowling (Lindsey) resting after the race.
Mrs. Shelley and Mrs. Olinger after they crossed the finish line.

Thursday and Friday
Thursday and Friday we spent time reading one of my favorite books that goes along perfectly with our continent and ocean study. 
Mrs. Sikes invited us over to listen to the story as she put the pictures up on her Elmo.
After listening to the story on Thursday, we made good ole Chester on Friday.
The students worked hard to create their own pig to look like Chester.
They are hanging up in the hall, so come check them out!

Mrs. Coon decided to run a 5K at Riverfest this past Saturday. I was really nervous because short races make me so nervous. I like long and steady races much better.
