Playground Gossip Hurts
By Colleen Messina
  

1     Rebecca loved to go out to the playground during recess. She loved whizzing down the slides. She loved swinging high into the blue sky on the swings. She loved pulling herself up on the multi-colored climber, too. Recess was the best part of school!
