Recess time!

We spent our last faculty meeting discussing the benefits of recess.

In the article "New Study: Does Better Recess Equal a Better School Day?", it listed the benefits of having recess part of your school day. One thing that stood out to me the most was that having recess "reduced bullying, enhanced feelings of safety at school, increased vigorous physical activity during recess, and provided more time for classroom teaching. The research raises the possibility that what happens at recess can affect a school's learning environment in important ways, and that improving recess and play may enable schools to address a number of pressing issues at the same time."

During the winter months, I am a strong supporter of GoNoodle. We get out our wiggles through dancing!

Today, we got to enjoy our recess outside on the playground! We had a blast!
