Isn't Field Day one of the most fun days of the school year? I love it. I love being outside all day, I love the squeals, and I love the friendly competition.
One thing I don't love about field day is the grumpies that come with kids who don't win or get their way. Field Day is a perfect time to teach about the idea of Think Win-Win, which is one of the Leader in Me's 7 Habits of Happy Kids. The idea is to become a problem solver and come up with a solution that benefits all people involved.
Evie's Field Day: More Than One Way to Win by Claire Annettte Noland (Cardinal Press) is a terrific mentor text for teaching Think Win-Win. In the story, Evie is ready to win it all at her school's field day. She can't wait to add her to collection of medals and ribbons. Things don't quite go her way at each field day event. However, toward the end of the story, Evie becomes a different type of winner when she helps a baby bird. Evie helps solves a problem She discovers that there are different types of winning. I LOVE this!
I did a simple read aloud, and then my anchor chart below. I had students work in pairs after the read aloud to write a sentence or two on a sticky note about how Evie used Think Win-Win during her field day. You can download the anchor chart here.
This was such a great lesson for some of my students who just have to win everything. I also liked discussing how winning is an attitude and more than just coming in first place. Being a good sport is better than being the fastest, strongest, etc. The book has excellent discussion points for good sportsmanship right in the back.
The anchor chart is also available as a free Google Slide. Evie's Field Day is available on Kindle and hard cover. It would be perfect to share with students during their would-have-been field day week this year.
