An Informative Charade

Out on the yard, ideas, sprout ...










friendships blossom...




And things can get really rotten without a little supervision and a few simple rules to keep everyone safe.



I know many of you have met Ms. Kym by now, but you may not know that she is the law of the land once the children hit the school yard. She is also experienced, kind and firm. Great qualities to have when you are supervising a number of children. She is assisted quite ably out there by Ms. Sarah Guy. Together they keep everyone on track with not only the rules but how to get along and keep recess fun.



This week 3 talented third graders presented the yard rules during lunch through a game of charades.

I thought parents might also like to know the rules. You may even find you’ve been aiding and abetting without knowing it.

• Always let the teacher know where you are. Ask before going into a classroom or bathroom.
  


• No climbing on anything but the “climbing structure” or the lemon tree in the kindergarten yard. No toys in the “climbing structure”.



• No throwing anything but balls. No throwing balls at others, dodge ball, ball tag. The grass area is the quiet, ball free zone.



• No ropes around body parts.



• No pulling others with hula hoops.



• No picking up others, no piggyback rides.



• No bare feet on the yard.



• No personal toys on the yard. No heelies, scooters or skate boards.



• No sharing or trading food. No glass containers. Eating and drinking while sitting in designated areas only.
  


• Pick up and throw away all trash, recycling and compost.
