We know kids need more time outdoors and playing(especially post pandemic) yet don’t incorporate enough real world outdoor science in ES/MS.  Nor do we host enough PE classes outdoors enough in ES.  Any day that the temp is above freezing, you should drive past schools and see kids outside for PE and recess.  Recess should be a period of the school day, not some random 15 minutes in the school day.

Our neighboring count, Howard, on recess: "Generally, students will be outside for recess when the temperature combined with the wind chill is not less than 20 degrees Fahrenheit or the heat index reading is less than 95. Children with certain health conditions may need special accommodations during extremely hot or cold weather."

What is the MCPS policy? I agree that kids need to be outdoor a lot more. And off cell phone and Chromebooks as much as possible, but it doesn't seem that is happening.[/quote]

HA!

Our ES principal cancels outdoor recess for all sorts of reasons - the fields are damp, the temperature is 34 degrees, it’s cloudy and it rained yesterday.  [/quote]

I hate this too. The bad principals cancel outdoor recess as a concession to teachers who don't want to be outside. [/quote]
