Track and Field

Yesterday (June 8) was the district Track and Field meet.  The event was hosted at Sunset Elementary School in Pt. McNeil.  Though is was freezing cold and raining, most everyone had a good time.  The events I participated in were long jump, triple jump, 100 meter run, 200 meter run, and the relay.  This year I am in the age category Peewee (grades 5 and 6).  The categories were Tyke (grades 2, 3, and 4), Peewee (grades 5 and 6), and Bantam (grade 7).

Altogether, I think everyone had a great time.

My French Recipe

For my French recipe I chose to make French toast, an old recipe that dates back to the 4th or 5th century.  French toast was commonly served with game birds or meat.  French toast is also known as German and Spanish toast.  The main ingredients of French toast are bread, eggs, and milk.

I have chosen to prepare a variation of French toast in which the toast is baked, because of the convenience of baking at school instead of frying.
