 | No More Rowdy Recess
(Reprinted from the Grand Forks Herald -- October 21, 2009) South Point Elementary's structured playground time has been successful,
Principal Suraya Driscoll says.
The scene Wednesday afternoon at
East Grand Forks' South Point Elementary was rowdy, loud, and
boisterous -- in many ways the same that recess has always been.
But
a closer look at the playground showed a different scene: kids playing
together, politely taking turns and playing games that might seem
unusually structured for something as chaotic as recess. That’s because
the school modified recess about a month ago, a move that Principal
Suraya Driscoll said was to teach kids lessons while still having fun.
