Dear Jane,

I am happy that we are pen pals. But since my mom is becoming a principal, she wanted me to think of something. It was what if I was a principal for a week. I think on Monday I would make the recess longer (just by ten minutes). Maybe then have kids sit by there friends at lunch for the rest of the week. Then on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday have school end at 2:40pm. That’s some things I would do if I was a principal.

Your friend,
Haley

If I were the principal at our school for a week here is what I would change.

I would change the length and times of recesses because you almost have no time to play a game in 15 minutes. My solution is to put all the recesses together to make them an hour long so you would have a lot of time to play your game.

I would also like to change the equipment outside like what about a soccer goal. The only soccer field we have is so tiny everybody that wants to play can’t even fit in to it. Plus we have no goals to tell if it went in to the net.

Finally I would make lunch longer we only have 25 minutes. I am always stuffing my face with the last bit before we go to recess. I would also make it longer so we can talk more that is one of the only times that we could talk to are friends in another class.

This is what I would to if I were the principal for the week.

I would like to be principal for a day.  I would like to help solve problems, and give directions. I would only like to change two things, the chairs and the time we have to eat lunch. I would like to change because they are too hard. I wouldn’t change then to the really squishy kind, but the kind that is just a little squishy, like desk chairs. The other thing I would like to change is the amount of lunch time we get. I would like to change that because we do not get enough. I never finish.  I have seen other people who only eat a yogurt and a have of a sandwich. Even though I would like to change more things, those are the main things.

If I could be principal for one week here is what I would do. I would make shorter school days so kids could play outside after school ends. That way they would get lots of energy for the next exciting day. The school would also have art class every single day. Then after school, if kids want to they can sign up for an after school art class.

On the last day of the week I would let the children play fun games all day long. I think that would make a perfect day. Also if any child thinks they are doing very bad in school I would teach them those things. They would also get easier tests and quizzes.

If they thought that they were too good at any subject in class they could have the option of moving up one grade. That would make both the children and I very happy. It would make teachers learn to love teaching more. I would love to be principal for just one week.

If I were the principal here are some things I would do. I would always be nice and funny to all of the children and teachers and be welcoming and open. But some things I would personally change to make school rock would have lunch longer, have half day more often, and have a choice for everyone to have hot lunch or you could go home for lunch! I think if I did that then everyone would never want to go home! So one day I hope I can be a principal and do everything I want to make it the best school in the world!

By Allison

If I were principal I would for a week
I would have longer recesses
And longer lunch periods
Have recycle day
So we help can save the earth
Have a soccer field
So kids can play during recess
And have school sports teams so kids can play for fun against other schools

So that’s what I would do if I were principle for one week.

By Betsy

If I could be the principal of my school for a week, I would make a couple changes in the way we do things. I think that chocolate milk day should be on Wednesday and Friday, just to switch things up a bit. We should only have one grade at a time in the cafeteria, so that there is more room and it’s less crazy. During the winter, if its 10 degrees Fahrenheit or less, we should have inclement recess, because it’s sometimes too cold. I think my changes would be great, but I’m sure that my principal knows what he’s doing.

By Matt

I would interact with the kids a lot because I like having fun and kids are fun! I would also make a door from my office to the teachers lounge because I like to eat a lot. I would also bring doughnuts to all the teachers on Friday. But for the kids I would bring cookies to the kindergarteners and 1st graders on Monday, to the 2nd graders on Tuesday, to the 3rd graders on Wednesday, to the 4th graders on Thursday, and to the 5th graders on Friday. I am a very nice person. Then on Friday I would make school end a half hour earlier. It would be great.

1. Recess would be longer.
2. In math, you would play math games.
3. Gym would be an hour long.
4. You would learn stuff while having fun.
5. You could buy ice cream at lunch.
6. Art would be longer so you can make more projects.
7. All the teachers would be nice in every grade.
8. Water fountains would be chocolate milk fountains.
9. On the hot days, you would watch a movie at the end of the day to cool yourself down.
10. You would do computer work and learn about technology.

By Jordan

If I was principal there will be class out side. When kids are finished with there lunch they can go out for recess for as long as they want to. They can go on field trips all over the world. That would be great.

Dear Principal,

You should let me be the Principal of the school, for a lot of reasons, but I only have one.  You get a lot of money and you get the humongous office. I think somebody else should experience that. Most importantly, everybody looks up to you!

Have you ever noticed what we have for lunch that our parents made us, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with $0.05 for milk, a bag of chips, and for desert a Fun Size Snickers bar.

My rules are no different from yours except chocolate cake each and every Friday different special if needed. People are ready for changes and I’m expecting to give it to them, but still acting like an army sergeant. So Principal please let me be the Principal for one week?!

Please,
KM

If I were ever principal for just one week these are the things I would change. I think it would be nice if the kids didn’t have to do homework because in a child’s life we are really busy. Another thing I would change is make recesses longer because kids have lots of energy that needs to go somewhere. Recess is where it all goes down the drain. The last thing that I would change is lunch. I love lunch but it would be great to have hot lunch instead of cold frozen lunch, it would also lighten the weight o everybody’s backpack. Sure you would have to pay but you wouldn’t have to eat it every day you could always bring it from home. That’s what I would do if I could be the principal for just a couple of days.

If I were principal for a week I would…

Have everyone go on a field trip to a real science lab. (It will be led by Mrs. Ade because she probably knows more about science then anyone.)

Sell ice cream in the cafeteria every day.

Have a Jimmy John’s fun lunch.

Have a foreign food fun lunch.

Have three hours of recess.

Let people go to the computer lab whenever they wanted to.

Have a football day where everyone wears a football jersey and we play a game on the back playground.

Last but not least, have everyone take an online quiz to see who there Greek god or goddess parent is. Then have everyone go into the room of there parent and learn about them.

By Grace

If I were principal. I would make the school colorful. I like colors that are colorful. Also kids like colors too. I would like to have recess longer because kids need a lot of exercise to grow up strong and healthy. Ice-cream everyday kids love it and it is important to Wisconsin dairy farms. Something important is that my kids are learning something from their teachers. Then I would be creative and nice to all the students. Kids love art that is why I want all kids to have a art class every single day. Would you like to be a student at my school?

By Larry

If I was principal I would have a strict no bullying policy, and if you did you would get a write-up. Each special has its own day. Ex. Monday phy-ed, Tuesday music, Wednesday French, Thursday library, and Friday art. More time for recess. Also last but not least  hot lunch should be served.

By Matthew

I if I were principal for one week at Richards School I would change these things. First I would have two recesses for 30 minutes each because people say you should be active for 60 minutes per day. Second I would have school start at 8:00 and end at 3:00 so people can get places at around 3:10. The third thing that I would do is serve chocolate milk but only the low fat, low calorie kind to prevent kids from get fat and keeping them healthy. If I were principal I would try to be the best principal they ever had. I would be funny, be nice, and resolve all problems with no one not wanting to come to school the next day.
