“PROCEDURES MUST
BE PRACTICED.” Harry Wong
------ Recess rules need to be practiced.
Lining up when the whistle blows is a procedure. Practice it ---- explain the purpose for the
rule. Be consistent in how the rule is
enforced. Now that we have returned from Christmas it is
especially important to review procedures and practice them over and over
again.

Don't worry about bitin' off
more'n you can chew. Your mouth is probably a whole lot bigger'n you think.

Always drink upstream from the
herd.

If you find yourself in a hole,

It don't take a genius to spot
a goat in a flock of sheep.

Never hit a man who's chewin'
tobacco.

somethin' that ain't botherin' you none.
