Going along with our Thoughtful Movements, Healthy School theme, the teachers at UID have organized outside recess for students each morning from 7:25 until 7:50. Some of our teachers tried this last year and found that students were more energized and ready to start their day after a few minutes of fresh air. Students will enter the front doors of the school as they usually do, will leave their backpacks in a set location in the multi-purpose room and then join teachers outside.
There is one thing parents can do to help us with this morning recess and that is to have your child pack along extra shoes and socks or wear mud boots in the morning. While the grass is wet with dew, we do not want students to start their day with damp toes! Thank you.
