Kentucky Derby – 05/02/14

Mrs. Brown’s classroom was transformed into Church Hill Downs for a unique version of America’s most famous horse race, the Kentucky Derby. The Goal was to provide a memorable and fun experience for a cross-curriculum review whereas teams were made up of horse owners, trainers, and jockeys. The event included a mock track with movable horses, jockey outfits, the singing of “My Old Kentucky Home”, roses, prizes, treats, and the students dressed in their finest.
