Recess serves as a necessary break from the rigors of concentrated, academic challenges in the classroom. Equally important is the fact that safe and well-supervised recess offers cognitive, social, emotional, and physical benefits. Our students thrive when they get the opportunity to go outside to run, play and use their imagination.
One of the most important things we teach is social skills. Peer interactions during recess are a unique complement to the classroom. The lifelong skills acquired for communication, negotiation, cooperation, sharing, problem solving, and coping are, not only foundations for healthy development, but also fundamental measures of the school experience (Murray, R. & Ramstetter, C, 2012).
Our class is currently in need of recess equipment (balls, jump ropes, etc.). We are limited in our resources and by supporting our project, you are increasing our students' chances for exciting and fun recess time. Please help our students get their wiggles out!
