Where Does Shawn Play?

It may surprise you to find that we have no grass at our house.  We have a small cement backyard, surrounded by high walls.  Shawn and his sister have to find other places to play.

Most schoolyards do not have any grassy areas.  Going to parks is very popular so that people of all ages can have what is called green space.

You can see pictures of Shawn's favourite park on this blog, at "When Learning Just Hits You in the Head."

Finally, here are some photos of our patio.  The house belongs to someone else, and we don't have permission to use paint. Also, people live above us and their windows open over our patio, so we can't make too much noise.

Can you help us think of some ways to have fun out here?

We have to go out through the garage to get to the patio.



See how high the walls are?
