  Case: No Recess
My administration has made it very clear that they do not approve of recess except on Fridays. I teach a class of 25 rowdy 8 year old kids. I am a firm believer in the fact that they need a break. I have been stopping and doing a Just Dance break after lunch, but I always feel like I have to sneak around and hope to not get caught. Am I wrong for wanting my students to have a break?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
No, you are not wrong for believing it is good for students to move around and have brain breaks throughout the school. I have taught at a school where recess was frowned upon for 2nd-5th grade students. In order to incorperate movement into their day, I would create lesson that could be done outside in which students got to explore and learn while moving. For example, for a perimeter and area introduction, we went out side and walked around the field when I yelled perimeter and they would run around in the middle of the field when I called area. I hope this helps!

Comments: I agree on the importance of recess, but If it is not an option, this is a great thing to do to give your students a chance to move around a bit!
