[quote=Anonymous]Some teachers are pro outside some are not. Last year the teachers rarely took them outside unless it was warm no wind and not a cloud in sight. Annoyed me to no end. On one hand there were a lot of problem behaviors but I know for a fact that being cooped inside all day did not help that.

This year we have teachers who really value outside time I think it's because one of our teachers has four boys. They go outside unless it is actually wet on the playground equipment or if it's under 32°. If it's wet on the playground equipment then they will still do the blacktop or they will go into a really large open room sort of a gym/theatre and have all types of activities set up.

Part of the reason we did a half day is because last year was so bad with lack of outdoor activity we decided to work staggered schedules to make sure our kid gets 2hrs outside a day (minus rain). We still go out in the rain for a walk though. 
I know he'll get even less next year in K so we are going to walk to and from school every day. It's a mile total for him so it's something at least. [/quote]
