Today we finally had weather that was not close to, or below freezing. It was actually well above that temperature! The students were ecstatic to get outside and play during recess. For weeks we have been having indoor recess. The students had fun playing with Legos, and blocks and board games for a while...but, it was getting old.
I noticed a huge difference in their afternoon behavior after getting to go outside. I am a strong believer that kids need to burn off energy throughout the day. Today, they finally got to do that!! After the students came back inside they were surprisingly on task and ready to focus on the afternoon instruction. I'm really curious to see if this pattern will repeat the rest of the week since it is suppose to be so nice outside all week. (Fingers crossed!)
