Is 30 Minutes of Recess Enough?

by Betsy

Hi readers, this is Betsy here to talk about something very important… recess! Everyone at Lake Bluff loves recess, what’s not to love? But more importantly, do we get enough of it?

It is safe to assume that most people at Lake Bluff would love to have more recess time, the only problem is when we would get it. Lots of people would probably agree that cutting our lunch time to get more recess might be nice, especially because some people are actually finishing their lunches early and not having anything to do except twiddle their thumbs can be boring.

But snack time might be an option as well, everyone has a snack time and sometimes people finish snack early. While it's fun to talk to your friends, it would also be great if you could have a short recess to the end of snack time if you finish your food early.

Snack and lunch are two good times to have more recess time, but there is still one more possible recess time… guided study!

Some classes experience guided study time at some point of the day, so it might be perfect if once you finish everything you have to do for guided study, you could go out and have a little recess outside!

That's great for the kids, but what is so awesome about that for the teachers, right? Well, think about it… teachers have to encourage kids to do their work all the time, so they are probably bored of it. If there was recess if you finished your work, it might encourage us students to actually do the work, that's right I said actually we students might actually do the work! It would be a win win!

That's it for now, but coming up next is an article about spanish classrooms, stay tuned!
