Pattimura Elementary School (PEL) is holding PEL Olympics this week. From Grade 1 to 5, each grade is assigned a color - red, green blue, black and yellow. Grade 3 is red. Kindergarteners are assigned to wear white. At the opening ceremony on Monday, kids formed 5 rings, representing the 5 colors of the Olympics flag. Kindergarteners carried a huge Olympics flag. Unfortunately, Blogspot.com has problems uploading pictures so I'm not able to share pictures with everyone. But it was a really nice ceremony with class parade, athelet pledge, torch relay, music, etc.
The third graders had their events yesterday and I was a parent volunteer to keep scores. I was really proud that Elizabeth was the only girl in her class to jump over 0.80 m. in high jump, although she is the 2nd shortest. She also had the highest long jump score among the girls, and ranked 2nd in 800 meters. Kindergarteners won't have their own events, and I'm not sure how Eddy will react by end of this week. At least, he'll have swimming class this afternoon.
