51 North Grandview Avenue Dubuque, Iowa 52003 9/22/15 School Board 2300 Chaney Road Dubuque, Iowa 52001 Dear School Board, Are you ever fidgety in class? Ever have a student that just won't calm down no matter what you try? Well students and teachers I have the solution for you! I believe that if you give students of all ages recess it will help them in a lot of ways. In this essay I will tell and explain to you why I believe students of all age ranges should have a recess at least one time a day. My first reason is that it relieves stress. By letting students go outside and burn off all their energy it helps them relieve their stress. Say for example, a student is struggling with a math question or they are worried …show more content…

Exercise gives the brain what is like "brain food" stated Why Kids Need Recess. By letting the students go outside, it helps provide this so called "brain food". This 'brain food" which is oxygen, water, and glucose by letting them go outside its not only helping the students its helping the teachers because it gives them a little bit of free time to grade tests, or go outside with them, or give them just some simple quiet time simply. By getting this "brain food" it will help improve their moods in class they will be fully refreshed and not wanting to take a nap, they will be less wild or quiet because it will wake them up and refresh them and get them ready to take the rest of the day on and it will help break their day up. Exercise also stimulates students’ brains almost like saying "hey wake up brain" because school starts early already but it helps them wake up and get ready for the …show more content…

After recess all the kids will be tired recess is supposed to be a time to run around and get tired to use their energy. By giving them recess they will fidget less in class and be less wild because sitting in a chair all day long can drive kids crazy because they like to be active and run around and play all their fun recess games like football and kickball. It will calm down the kids in class because if they used all their energy they’ll want to sit down because they are tired and they will fidget less and pay attention more because they have nothing to distract them anymore they used their energy and they are all tired and ready to sit still and learn in the classroom and tackle that worrying test or figure out the math problem they were stuck on before recess now they are refreshed their brain is up and awake and they are ready to learn. For the younger students in elementary schools it would help improve their behavior because they won't be screaming anymore rather they will be happy because they just had so much fun outside and now they are tired and ready to stay still and learn. Why Kids Need Recess said that in class it would almost improve all grades for students who have recess. In conclusion, I believe students of all ages should have recess because as I stated not only do students get to expend their energy it will wake them up in the morning and help them be productive during the

Recess is a good thing, but what the legislator didn't do was removed the current required structured physical active (SPA) time which caused some districts (not Citrus County) to loss free play recess time. There are just so many instructional hours each school day and now adding additional required recess time and not revoking SPA or something else in the school schedule, then something else must get reduced or worse eliminated. It is my hope that the state removes SPA next session. It should also be noted that in HB 7069 charter schools are exempt from the mandatory

Why don’t middle schoolers have a “recess” or free period? Honestly I don’t know. But in my opinion, all grades should have some type of free period like recess. This could help make friends, let the teachers have a break, and give us extra time for missing work or homework. All in all, it is a good thing for us, and even high school.

Should middle school students have recess? Middle school students should not have recess at all. This is because they need to grow and mature, they could get distracted from their missing work, and there is more of a chance to get hurt. You may think differently, but there is no denying the facts that prove my opinion. Middle school is a time in a kids life where they have more responsibilities, yet still are allowed to be a child.

Students that are in school during the summer find it harder to concentrate on the work that they are doing in school because they are waiting to get out of school into the nice weather. Year round schools make it difficult to learn with many breaks that they are given which can affect them negatively in and out of school. Year round schools should give long breaks instead of many little breaks because it is shown that there is no difference in learning between year round schools and traditional schools. During 2011-2012 about 3,700 schools were all year round schools and these schools didn’t benefit students and teachers in all good ways.

Have you ever wanted to gave recess in school again like when you were a little kid? Many people believe that recess should not be in school, but I think that there should be recess because you can be outside and be active and you get to see your friends. Being outside and being active is good for you because you get energy and you get to run around with your friends. For example being active is good because you can get some exercise and it is way better than sitting in a classroom and not being active. Another reason going outside for recess is great because you get to see your friends and get to talk to them ,so you don't have to talk to them in class.

I think a lot of students struggle at school with making friends and being social, having recess could open up the chance to help them engage in social activities with other students. For example, recess allows kids to meet new friends outside and build good and strong relationships with them. Another example of how recess could help with socializing is if a kid looks lonely or is sitting alone I know that there is almost always going to be more than one of those kids and kids tend to connect with people who share the same experiences as them so they will probably go up to each other and start talking, this could lead to a

On the other hand the article “Despite Benefits, Recess for many students is restricted” says that “academic requirements have ended recess time.” Some educators think that recess is a waste of the childers time when it could be better spent learning something in class. Students are not able to keep all the information that was just aimlessly flooded into their brains without time to register it. Recess gives students time to take in the information and slowly get their mind more calm so that space can clear up for more knowledge. Our schools should give students time for recess to communicate with others and develop social

Parents who enroll their children in after school activities are less stressed, have better attendance at work, and are overall more productive (Lend a Hand:Learn the Facts, n.d.). In many households, both parents work causing a period of time where their children are home alone. When parents enroll their children in afterschool programs, they do not have to worry about what their child is doing after school. Their children will be supervised in a safe environment while learning beneficial skills for their futures. Parents may miss work if they do not have a place for their child to go after school.

More School I agree that the school board should add on an extra one and a half hour tho the regular school day. I thinke that adding this amount of time to the school day will boost students ' grades by giving them more time to ask quietions and not be rushed. It will create less homework for students which also gives student-athletes more time to focus on thier own sport. And finally, teachers will be less stressed because they wouldn 't have to worry about time. If the school board adds time to the schoolday it will benefit for everyone.

It becomes very difficult for students who participate in sports directly after school or those who ride the bus to find time to meet with a teach to get help. If they were to stay after school the students who ride a bus would risk missing their bus which lead to a difficult situation for their parents. Many parents are working eight to five jobs or multiple jobs and can’t take an hour to pick their student up and drive them home. If a student missed the bus because they stayed after school their parent could end up losing their job because they had to leave work. A longer lunch break would allow students to go to teachers classrooms and get help during lunch so they don’t miss the bus after school.
