[quote=Anonymous]It’s hard to know unless the teacher is really watching about what happens at recess. Without unduly stressing your daughter, I’d ask her casually what she did at school that day and ask about recess generally. “Was it cold? Who did you play with? What did most kids play” Not an interrogation. Then make notes. You need to go back to the teacher with data, and remember that the teacher may not be on duty every day. When you have other kids over, give them a snack and tell them about your fourth-grade class experience. Mention a field trip or other ordinary things, then ask what do kids do these days at recess. I used to like to get on the swings a lot.

Then listen to what they say and ask if most kids play with the same group all the time and who decides what they play and what the rules are. More mature girls at that age might walk around talking a lot more than running and playing. As an elementary teacher, I saw many stages of play at recess at different grades.

If your child is really upset about this, have her make a list of recess options and she can go to plan B if plan A doesn’t work.

If you find that she is being excluded on purpose, go to the teacher and principal with specific information.I’m sorry.[/quote]
