I was just reading this article about schools not having outdoor play areas. Seriously?!?! I can't imagine the kids not having a recess break during the school day. I can't imagine not having that break myself!
Why Every Student Needs A Playground to Succeed
It got me thinking about breaks during the day. In a classroom with a sub, the energy and anxiety for students is increased. One of the best ways to relieve some of that energy is to give the kids a break. If you can't let them outside on a non-recess time, as least play a game in the room or let older kids just chat with friends between activities. They will appreciate, and hopefully come back to the learning environment refreshed and ready to listen.
