FROM MRS. MUNSON
This week talk with your student(s) about what it means to use their 3R’s on the playground. By using our 3R’s on the playground we can all have a safe and fun recess. Respect on the playground gives everyone a turn and avoids conflicts. By using respect on the playground everyone can be included, and equipment can be shared. Responsibility on the playground looks like everyone is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching. When we use responsibility on the playground then we can keep our equipment and school clean and safe. Discuss with your child how readiness helps them hear bells, whistles, and directions during recess. When our Camanche Elementary students use their 3R’s everyone is treated the way they want to be and everyone stays safe.
Here are some books to read together:
· A Little Spot of Respect by Diane Alber
· A Little Spot of Responsibility by Diane Alber
