[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]our 3rd grader gets 20 minutes exactly. takes them 5 min to walk outside and 5 min to walk back in. they were on the playground for exactly 20 min. I watched the first day and timed it. should be against the law to get such little movement/fresh air at that age. [/quote]

Last year my class had the first part of the reading block until 11:15. Recess was 11:15-11:45. Lunch was 11:45-12:15. The administration is very particular with the scheduled “begin no later than” and “end no earlier than” academic blocks. I’d cheat a bit and end reading a few minutes early so that we could be heard out the door at 11:15. Admin is also very particular about any talking in the hallway so I take a risk if we leave the room with any chatting. My classroom is at the opposite side of the building from the playground, so once we’d get to a point I’d let them run. We would push recess as long as we could but if we waited to line up at 11:45 we’d be at least 5 minutes late for lunch. So we’d line up 4 or 5 minutes early and be maybe a minute or 2 late for lunch. [/quote]
