Rules for the Brick Pond

by Christine Kovacs

​When we go to the Brick Pond...

• ​We walk carefully along the trail, paying attention to the teacher's directions.

• ​We always stay where we can see the teacher, and they can see us.

• ​We are respectful of nature, and we do not harm anything in the ecosystem.

• ​We stay out of mud and water. We don't want to track it all back in to the building.

• ​We don't horse around with each other.

• ​We carefully observe our surroundings, and remember that we are out there to learn.

• ​Leave the nature in nature.

• ​Bring ALL of your belongings with you! Leave nothing behind.

Open Ended

I understand ALL of the expectations for this trip to the Brick Pond, and I promise to follow ALL of the expectations. I understand that if I do not follow these expectations, I will have to stay next to a teacher for the remainder of the time we are outside, and I will NOT be able to join the class on future trips like this. Typing my name here is how I will sign this behavior contract.

​One last thing...

​Leaves of 3, leave them be!!!
