We Are Under Construction But There’s Still Plenty of Room for Recess

With the main playground currently out of bounds due to construction those swings are still, the tire swing empty, the playhouse deserted and the slide unslid.

But all is not lost. There is still recess – a time to go outside, be with friends, meet new people, run around, hula-hoop, play ball, climb mountains, learn to fly, invent new games, negotiate the rules and take turns.

Some pictures from morning recess:
