Give Boys Explicit Recess Ideas and Choices

# data[].attributes.body

Some ideas we've enjoyed in 3 Theta White are origami, Scattergories, Pumpkin decorating, collaborative story telling, battleship (each boys with own board), Guess Who (each boy with own board), themed drawing, and Rainbow Scratch paper. - Allie Laird

Frequent check ins with the boys throughout the day to see how they are feeling and to give them a chance to share. They have also been enjoying "imaginary trip" movement breaks in which they imagine that they are somewhere else (swimming in the ocean, exploring in the jungle, etc.) :-)

Virtual learners have designed their own workouts each Friday, and then as a group we acknowledge what worked best and what aspects could be rearranged to make more sense. This allows us to learn from each other's experiences and provide feedback as a group. Nick I
