*For the 2013-14 school year, we are going to model our activity breaks after the Playworks program. Below you will find some interesting facts about activity breaks/recess found on the Playworks website.
Principals tell us that just about all discipline-related problems in school occur during lunch and recess. Instead of going back to class energized and ready to learn, the kids return to class upset and unable to focus.
Recess can be one of the most important parts of the school day. A positive, productive recess and play can give students the opportunity for physical activity and let them learn valuable social skills like teamwork, cooperation and conflict resolution. Many schools, however, are cutting down on recess time or sometimes even eliminating it all together
When recess becomes a healthy, fun and active part of the school day, kids carry that positive experience with them beyond the playground.
