What Could an Answer Be? kaylapeters904 https://padlet.com/kaylapeters904/s63ghaipk55i/wish/117197191 I am fairly confident already that there are many benefits to keeping recess in middle school, I just don't have the research to back it up. I remember being in middle school and greatly enjoying the 20 minutes after lunch to socialize and goof off with friends before finishing out the school day.

Susan Meyer is one of those principles, who says that this recess gives the kids some much needed unwinding time, and can even benefit the classroom as they might discuss previous lessons.]]> 2016-07-29 15:11:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylapeters904/s63ghaipk55i/wish/117197941 More Validation for Keeping Recess in Middle Schools kaylapeters904 https://padlet.com/kaylapeters904/s63ghaipk55i/wish/117252927 This is a great article because it also provides information that shows the decline of students in schools that do not have recess, in comparison to schools that do have recess. There's even information comparing schools that have too little of recess time, showing how even too little of time is ineffective in helping students learn and engage inside the classroom.]]> 2016-07-31 22:47:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylapeters904/s63ghaipk55i/wish/117252927 Recess Providing Much Needed Exercise for Children kaylapeters904 https://padlet.com/kaylapeters904/s63ghaipk55i/wish/117253083 I really appreciate this article because it shows that recess can actually provide the only form of exercise that some children have, and that is a crucial argument for keeping recess in schools.]]> 2016-07-31 22:51:06 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylapeters904/s63ghaipk55i/wish/117253083 My Findings kaylapeters904 https://padlet.com/kaylapeters904/s63ghaipk55i/wish/117254368 I have found innumerable support for the benefits of recess in middle schools, which is refreshing because I was already on the side of recess, before actually knowing the documented research behind the benefits of it.]]> 2016-07-31 22:53:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylapeters904/s63ghaipk55i/wish/117254368
