Recess at 90 Above
By: Michael and Natali Banks Elementary School Kinston, NC 2nd and 5th grade collaborative writing project
In the morning we do our subjects and do Silly Sports and Goofy Games. After lunch, we have recess we wear shorts, sandals and shoes. Boys wear big leather jackets and T-shirts and girls wear blouses all colors of the rainbow. During the winter we wear long sleeve shirts and pants and girls do too. We wear hats too. We play pretend games such as Avengers and Spies. We play Dragons and Knights. We dance at recess and have dance contests. We have TONS of fun! We swing, slide and play on the zip-line. We climb rocks and slide (We're not supposed to do that.) We talk to our friends. We sometimes have extra recess. We play old games such as: tag, kickball, sports and jump rope. We sometimes don't play outside because it's way too cold or
hot or raining. We play Hangman, Good Morning Mr. Judge, iPods, or paper and pencil games. Once a black dog came to the playground, since we didn't know if the dog was friendly or mean we stayed in the classroom. Do you have playground equipment like ours? We have free time for a long time! Until our teachers, Mrs. Willis and Mrs. E. Eubanks, say, "Time to go!" I love recess in the spring, winter, fall, and the bit of summer we have at school.
