Our school is apart of a recess pilot. This pilot will give students at least an hour of unstructured physical activity during school. The pilot program will include surveys to tell the Department of Education how it affects students behavior and learning. This pilot is hopeful that it will cut down on behavior problems and help students to get their "wiggles" out, which in turn will allow for more instruction time. We all know children are active and it is so important that students are allowed ample time to get the activity and social-interaction they need. Of course, the weather isn't going to allow is to get outside every day, so we need materials to keep our bodies and our brains active when we are stuck indoors! I have chosen things such as the ball balance board bouncer so students can physically move by hopping and keeping them moving while working on coordination and balance. The crocodile hop floor game gets kids up and moving while challenging their cognitive skills! The playground engineering and design STEM set challenges students to come up with their own designs and test them which also allows them to work collaboratively and cooperatively as they communicate with their peers. The magnetic building blocks incorporates science, hands-on, coordination, and imagination while inspiring children to be creative. These specific examples are some of the many items that will allow for students to choose their “unstructured” play during recess and keep them either moving physically or their brains active! There are many things for them to choose from with this project! Thank you so much for your support and keeping our youth active even when the weather doesn’t allow it!
