New studies about recess
February 24, 2009
There were a couple of articles in the NYT that I can’t find a link to but can give you the information on the article. I am pleased to see more of this type of research. One day we will hopefully see an education system that allows kids to learn in a more natural and comfortable environment vs. the typically classroom setting we see today.

New research suggests that play and down time may be as important to a child’s academic experience as
reading, science and math, and that regular recess, fitness or nature time can influence behavior,
concentration and even grades.
