Recess - A Very Fun Thing to Look Forward To

At recess, there is a playground that we "hang out" on.  Some students think that the playground is the "bomb-diggity", but some students think that the playground is a little too small.  One thing that would make the playground better would be swings.

GAMES
One of the games we play at recess is kickball.  To pick teams, we split into Horizon/Dimondale vs. Wilcox/Dimondale.  Mr. Bliton is usually the pitcher.  You have to be careful when playing kickball because there is a sewer grate as first base.  You also have to be careful of getting hit in the face by the ball.

Tether-ball is another game we play.  It is really easy to get hurt while playing because the ball swings fast at your face.  You also have to pay attention to not get hit.  Tether-ball is usually two against two.

Another game is basketball.  Sometimes we play lightening and sometimes we just free shoot.  We even play H-O-R-S-E or P-I-G sometimes.  Be careful when rebounding or other kids might drop the ball on your head (by accident!).

To play frisbee you have to know how to throw the frisbee right.  If you don't throw it right, the frisbee will not go where you want it to.  It is important to pay attention to the wind direction while playing frisbee.

When it is raining or freezing cold we have inside recess.  During inside recess we are in the gym and we play backetball and jump rope.  There is also a corner where you can play volleyball or practice your fitness.  You can also do gymnastics, play fish tank, or play lightening.
