Our students need various opportunities to practice and grow in both their social, emotional, and physical skills during recess time. In order to help promote wellness they need structured recess play, and time to build positive peer interactions. The tools that our students will be using during recess are: soccer balls, basketballs, hula hoops, sand toys, kick balls, flags, bases, chalk, and jump ropes to name a few.
Recess time promotes 'physical and emotional safety at school; positive relationships with peers and adults; support for learning; and an institutional environment that fosters school connectedness and engagement' - Clifton Parker
Our ultimate goal is two fold: to keep our kids PLAYING! And to learn cooperation, and build teamwork!
To accomplish our goal we will be restructuring our recess with various stations that our students can use each day. These stations will each be set up with a team building sport or activity. A few choices our students will have are soccer, kickball, basketball, four square, foster creativity at the chalk station, or cardio with jump ropes or hula hoops.
Implementing the new structure of recess stations and team tools, our kids can focus more on positive interactions, learn life skills and develop conflict resolution strategies.
