FIELD DAY FUN at HOME with The Wisnieske Family
Since we will not have an opportunity to do a Field Day at LSE this year, I thought you could have a Family Field Day at Home. Here are some events/races you can do at home with very little equipment. I found these objects around the house and my kids are demonstrating the events! We hope you have fun!
