Down On The Farm: A "Charlotte's Web" Fair!
That’s some farm!
The words “Terrific” and “Radiant” aren’t just words that Charlotte used to describe Wilbur in E.B. White’s Charlotte’s Web, they could also be used to describe our second annual “Charlotte’s Web Fair”.
Dressed up like characters from the novel, third grade students, teachers, and parents set up a “fair” complete with fair foods and games.
Students arrived at school dressed as Charlotte, Wilbur, Templeton, Avery, Fern, and there were even some geese to be seen. After a morning of fun academics, the classes headed out to the lawn in front of the school where, parents, as always, rose to the occasion and turned the area into a feast of fair foods.
Students munched on corn dogs, pb&j sandwiches, hot dogs, mac and cheese, and much more as they enjoyed the sun and the impressive decor and tablescapes that brought the area to life! Afterwards, the fun really began as each class hosted a game -“Don’t Steal the Bacon,” “Pillowcase Race,” and “The Egg Relay”! The echos of screams and laughter could be heard all around campus.
Ashlyn Brummerloh from Mrs. Adkins class broke into a smile when asked what was her favorite part of the day. “I liked the egg race because there was a lot of action and it’s very hard because the egg will break!”
Whit Lowry from Mrs. Weeks' class agreed, “My favorite part was winning the pig game!!”
From all the smiles on both the kids and adults' faces it is plain as the snout on one's face that this year's Fair was a wonderful success!
