Recess

In today's schools, recess is one thing that tends to get shorter and shorter. However, in one state, one school is trying some new...more recess!!! As a proponent for movement in the classroom, I am a huge fan of more recess. It allows the students to get all their wiggles and jiggles out before coming back inside the classroom in order to help focus. Here is the article and story that was featured on the Today Show:

I am curious what happens in a school in Boston, (where I work) had indoor recess, would that mean four indoor recess's!? I am already starting to think of creative ways to that indoor recess and tie it into some academics :)
