As a 2nd grade teacher, balancing the amount of time my students need to learn with the amount of time their bodies need to move is a challenging task. Naturally, my 2nd graders have a lot of energy. Many of them have even more energy than others and some students have special needs that cause them to have more energy than they can manage. Couple that with shortened recesses and activity times and you can understand why students now have a harder time attending to their learning and often struggle to feel successful in school. Every day I try to create lessons, activities, and tasks that engage my students mind and body. The harsh reality is that students still need to be able to perform well on standardized tests and tasks which forces them to sit for long periods of time. My 2nd graders are full of life and full of energy, as they should be, but at times this impacts their ability to focus on their learning tasks, their overall achievement, and their self worth as a learner.
