Do Games Take Up Too Much Space in the Yard?
by Remi M. and Carolina V.
Do you think that there is too much space taking up the whole yard with baseball and other sports? Well here are your answers because we interviewed some teachers to see what they think! Think about your answers while reading this. And if you would like to see what the teachers think, KEEP ON READING!
Some teachers say that baseball is taking up too much of the yard. For example, a 3rd grade AT said that there was too much space taking up the yard with baseball. What do you think? Most teachers think that there was not too much space taking up the yard with baseball like a 2nd grade teacher we interviewed. But Ms. Fuchs thinks that baseball doesn’t take up too much space of the yard, but should be on the side of the yard where the jungle gym is. However, we think that there is too much space taking up the yard with baseball.
That’s why we are writing this! Why? Well we think that whenever we play at yard we get this little amount of space. And the people who are playing baseball and other sports have a little more than half of the yard! This is important to us because yard is our free time to play and some of us don’t want to play baseball, so it’s not fair to us! Therefore, baseball is taking up a lot of the space in the yard!
We have a question for you: if you don’t play baseball, would you want to play another game that doesn’t involve sports but involves being active and having fun? Also, it will take half of the yard and the other half for playing baseball. But if you don’t want to play it, you can play either on the jungle gym or there will be LOTS of more space to play so you can play whatever you want in the BIG open space that you will have. When we interviewed the teachers, all of them said that they would be able to supervise a new game that everyone can play in the yard. If you want to play the new game, feel FREE! Let some teachers know. Yard is YOUR free time to play, so you should be happy during it!
If you do want to play the new game, here’s how the system will work.
Each AT will alternate every week and decide the game on the vote of hands. It cannot be a game that is dangerous and it cannot involve getting hurt! For example, it cannot be a ninja fighting game. But, it should be a game like sardines or tag or other fun games that you would want to play! Also everybody will be taught how to play the games. Most of all no one will be left out!!! But MOST of all everyone will have fun!
The thing all teachers agreed on was that there were too many balls flying around in the yard that could hurt people. Since Ms. Santucci knows a lot about the yard and how to keep the school safe, she tries to keep the balls out. But sometimes people sneak in a ball from home to school and play with it and throw it around, and that’s how people get hurt from balls! Have you ever gotten hit by a ball? Did it hurt? We are trying to get some of the balls out of the yard so you won’t hurt. And if you really want to help, you can tell a person playing with a ball that they should stop throwing it around and be careful because you are getting hurt.
Overall, some people think that there is too much space taking up the yard with baseball. Some people don’t think that there is too much space taking up the yard with baseball. However, this decision is up to you! Do you think there is too much space taking up the yard with baseball? Do you think there are too many balls flying around in the yard enough to get hurt? And would you like to play a NEW game that will be supervised by an AT? So think about it, and tell a teacher or another adult that works here at P.S.6. Or, tell us in our “Letter to the Editor” section of this website.
