[quote=Anonymous]At our ES it is officially 30 min, but in reality more like 20-25. When my DC was in K, the teacher did something she called number bootcamp every day, where she got all the kids on the carpet and they did calesthenics (jumping jacks, squats, toe touches, etc.) while they skip counted by 2's, 3's, 5's, 10's. etc. Very simple, and while my DC could already do the counting (there were some who couldn't), I think it was a smart move for this teacher to get them up and moving as they got very antsy in the afternoons. It wasn't officially a "recess" but it added some additional movement into the class which is important for young children. BTW, this K teacher was the only one of the K teachers at this school who did this ... it was not a school policy, just a good teacher.[/quote]
