After having the party on Friday, then a snow day on Halloween, the kids were amazingly focused today.<br /><br />The party definitely was worth it!<br /><br />SallySallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08310519130514048230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508934567629537398.post-7896764334957018052011-10-30T03:05:35.305-04:002011-10-30T03:05:35.305-04:00I think if the party was every day it would lose s...I think if the party was every day it would lose some of its power. Part of the power is the specialness of the party. <br />I am so glad I have a principal who knows the importance of recess, and actively encourages active physical play even though the available space is very limited (under the main building with the motos parked on one side, and posts at regular intervals). I hate it when I need to take recess from my students as a consequence of uncompleted homework, but it's a consequence that generally works well, so I rarely have to use it.KarenKTeachCambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18360213423837201954noreply@blogger.com
