Goes to Bee! She’s done 10 miles so far in the Marble Mileage Club. That earned her a spot on the mileage club board in the main hallway of the school. Her first grade classroom is in 3rd place for the whole school! Beginning about 5 and a half weeks ago, every M-W-F at last recess the kids have the option of running laps around the field (1/4 mile per lap). Each lap they get their club card punched. Twenty punches = 5 miles or 1 toe token. Mileage club ends at the end of the month. We told her if she ran 15 miles (that equals 3 punch cards) she would earn her first American Girl Doll. (She has been asking for one for over a year and all of her friends have one). She has been plugging away at the miles. We picked a hard goal but one that is not impossible. She averages 3 laps a day, but lately has been doing 4. It is really is a nail biter. She has about 4 days of mileage club left and needs to do 11 more laps, and we know she can do it, if it doesnt rain…GO BEE GO!!!
