| May 1998 Dear Friends, Hi my name is Stacey. I am in fifth grade. I am ten. I am going to tell you about our playground at school. This is what I do on outdoor recess. We have a big double sliding board. We have monkey bars, swings, basketball court, soccer, and football fields. A lot of us go to Kidlink. I really like to go to Kidlink. I am in it right now that is how I write to you all. What I do when it is indoor recess! Yes I still usually go to Kidlink. Sometimes my class brings in games, and, little toys, cd or tape players. What kind of equipment is on your playground? Your New Keypal, Stacey May 1998 Hi Patti !!!!! Thank you for your letter. Yes, I have one big sand box in my playground. In Argentina have much raining.Many provinces are flooding. Buenos Aires the capital of the country also is flooding. Well my city is no flooding good ¿no? Good bye besos Argentina May 1998 HI!! Miss Weeg has just shown me the pictures of your playground. It is a big play ground. Do you have a soccer field there? Do you have a four-square game? Do you have a black top? Our playground is small but we have two of them. They are both different. One of them is for the 1-3 graders and the other one is for the 4-6 graders. We have a 2 story building. we have 8 portables. They are for the 3rd grade. What grade do you teach? What story are you on? Bye . Lauren Delmar Elementary School May 1998 Oh, dear Lauren, thanks for your kindness to explain about my questions. Anyway, it is some kind of play for children. Right? And pavement, I can understand this word and I saw your basketball court. But indeed it is so hard to understand another way of life in schools. But we are able to use pictures to explain and more understandable. Thanks for your help and explain my questions. Isamu Shimazaki Japan May 1998 Dear Friends, I like to play on the merry go round. Why do you have 4 sliding boards? Your friend, Brenna Delmar Elementary School Hello Brenna, thanks for your mail, unfortunately it is Friday here in Japan, so we have no school tomorrow. I'd like to show your mail to our students on Monday. Sorry. Please wait for a little time. Now I'd like to answer your question, but I could not perfectly about it. Some years ago, our school had that sliding boards. They were made by cement. Students are glad to play this. Next time I'd like to take a picture students playing this. Thanks for your mail, Isamu Shimazaki Japan Dear friends, I didn't go outside. I don't mind. How many kids are in your schools? I like to play on the merry-go-round. Do you have a merry-go-round? your Friend, Davinia Delmar Elementary School The day we went outside to write about our playground Davinia was not with us. She was back the next day to type in the lab. This is what she is telling you here. --Patti Delar Elementary School May 1998 hello Davinia, thanks for your mail, I'm very glad to receive from you. How many kids are in your schools? Our school has about 900 students. They are from the first grade to sixth grade, age from 6 to 12 years old. Do you have a merry-go-round?

Our school has 2 playgrounds, one for little children and one for the bigger children. How many playgrounds do you have? Our playgrounds have about ten things to play on. How many things do you have on your playgrounds? Our school is 2 stories tall. We have extra portables for all 1,048. How many students are in your school? Do you have any portables? Can students actually go on top of the roof? Well these are all of the questions I have for now. I will write back to you soon. Bye! Your Friend, Vanessa Delmar Elementary School May 1998 Dear Mr. Isamu, Thanks for the pictures. Mrs. Weeg told us that you took the pictures from the 3 floor out a window. Do you have anymore pictures? How big is your school? Ours is Pre-K through 6 and we have 1048. But we only have 2 floors and 7 portables. We are surveying the equipment outside we like most. We are going to make a graph from our data. Well, got to go, the bell is going to ring. Your Friend, Sandy P.S Write Back Soon,Please?????? Delmar Elementary School May 1998 Dear Mr. Isamu, Hi! It's me Vanessa. I'm asking a few more questions. How many children are in your school? How many classrooms do you have? Are kids playing soccer on the field? Do we change classes for any time? Is your playground big? Do you eat in your cafeteria at once? Do you have kindergarten? How many grades do you have? How many kids are in each class? What subjects do you have? Do you have recess every day? How many minutes do you have? When does school begin? When does school end? Are kids aloud on the roof? Do you have fire drill practices? Where is your school exactly? Is your playground equipment old? Have you recently gotten any new equipment for your playground? Can kids ever lose playground time? Is any of your playground equipment dangerous? Has anyone ever gotten hurt on a piece of equipment? Now I will give you answers about our school. We have 1,048 students in our school. We have about 38 classrooms. Kids play soccer on our field. We have lunch on shifts. Our playgrounds are very large. We have 5 kindergarten classes. We have 8 grades. Pre-k, kindergarten, 1,2,3,4,5, and 6. We have about 30 students in each class. We have math, social studies, reading, language, spelling, and science. We have recess every day. We have 30 minutes each day. School begins at 8:30 every day. It ends at 2:55 each day. Kids aren't allowed on the roof. We have 1 firedrill practice each month. Our school is in Delmar Maryland. Most of our playground equipment is mainly old. We have recently gotten a new jungle gym set. In our school if you are misbehaved you will lose a certain amount of playground time. Some of our playground equipment is dangerous, like the see saw. A few people have fallen off and hit their heads. Well this is it. I gotta go. Bye! Sincerely, Vanessa Delmar Elementary School May 1998 Dear Mr. Isamu, Hi my name is Westley. I'm 11 years old.
