We have so many things for our elementary students, but what about our junior highers? Our elementary students have many options to play, have there own area they want to sit at during lunch. Us junior highers don’t have as many choices because we come out later in the day for recess. Us junior highers and I would like more things to have to ourselves. This would make us have a better junior high. Options for a better Junior High recreation area are a Food Cart, Junior High playground, and a private lunch area. Many people in this school usually rush to a school because they live far away or woke up late. By rushing we may forget to bring something, like our own lunches. By bringing a food cart our students won't skip eating for the school day. We can by our food from the food cart, this is also useful if someone skips breakfast. I also have forgotten my lunch before and my mom had to bring it even though she was at work. Please consider bringing a food cart in so the people that forget to bring their lunches or never ate breakfast can feel good for the rest of the day. …show more content…
The Junior Highers don’t use the playground as much because: some of us don't like the playground, and when we do want to play on it, it has been taken over by the elementary students who go to lunch earlier.. The Junior Highers and I want to have our own playground to play on, this can include a Four Square Court, and a court to play games such as wall ball. This would be for the Junior Highers only because when we do want to play Four Square and other games, we don't have space to play. This is from all the Junior Highers, we would appreciate having this in our school. If this would be possible, we would be able to put it on the upper
These are just some key points I would touch when trying to promote recess to school administrators or a school board. Recess is very important to our children and I think taking it out of their day to day routine will hurt them in the end.
First, one of the major physical features of the school is that we share areas with our neighboring high school. One example is that we share the track with them. This is great because we only use the track for about twenty minutes per gym period and about two months for sports, track and field. Having our own track would be a waste of money and space. Another reason why this is an excellent idea is because it gives the students the opportunity to interact with one another. Talking to older and experienced high schoolers will help middle schoolers when they get to high school. These are just a couple reasons why sharing areas with the high school is a stupendous idea.
*High school students would be able to be more responsible with getting dressed and out on the floor on time. However, I would still require a position on the floor for elementary students and they should know how to be quiet before the activities begin for the day.
A lot of people have agreements and disagreements about if we should or should not have recess. I oppose “Recess, Think about it”, which argues against recess at Burrillville Middle School, and I agree with “An ‘Old-school’ Idea”, which describes bringing recess back to Burrillville Middle School.
Young adolescents are going through the most turbulent and trying time of their lives. They’ve never experienced emotional rollercoasters or painful growth spurts before, nor have they experienced the feeling of being constantly hungry, no matter how much they’ve eaten in the last hour. I think that the middle school structure is definitely a boon and a necessity in their lives, as it caters to their unique needs as individuals, provides necessary stability and structure, but still offers and encourages room to grow. Even though trends have changed, I’ve realized that they’re not so different from when I was their age. I will definitely keep that in mind, and try to relate to my students more in the
Covering all, we should revise the rules of Fort Bend ISD and change it. Having a sport in a school is a privilegeto one because some don’t due to the lack of money.It’s important for many students: it can help students in future possibilities such as athletics and their character. Knowing sports can change a person physically and mentally by making them smart, respectful, and healthier. Being in an after school activity is rewarding experience to all the students who are going to dedicated and focused on school and in the activity. Finally, student will be rewarded after school after the hard work throughout the day. Sports can influence students in many ways like character, making better graders, and lack of obesity. Fort Bend ISD should allow sixth graders to participate in physical activates: sixth graders would be satisfied.

Creativity, resourcefulness, inventiveness and flexibility are important to all children” and although children have opportunities to play on the playground or during gym at school, they don’t have the necessary conditions “within which they can find and create their own play”. Playgrounds were originally created to keep children off the street and out of trouble, however, playgrounds don’t offer much for children to increase their development, or socialize with diverse children, since they often attend parks that are close to their homes. Hart believes that this is a major issue and thinks that we should provide more “adventure playgrounds” in which “playworkers” provided several different materials and loose parts to let the children use their imagination and create their own adventures. Furthermore, Hart includes the fact that playgrounds do not offer much to children with special needs, and although they have created ramps for children with wheelchairs, these playgrounds do not offer developmental play to other children with special
I would like to propose that Salida Elementary school start teaching physical education on a regular basis. With each age group, the curriculum would be simple. Staff could work together and come up with easy and fun activities that grade levels could do together or separate. Teachers should also try to be good role models when it comes to snacks and drinks they bring into class. Children believe that if their teacher is drinking a soda then it’s alright for them. Also, children should not be given candy as rewards or special prizes the majority of the time. They should switch it up to stickers, erasers, pencils, and markers. Make it fun!
Lunch is one of the most important meals of the day and is consumed mostly in school cafeterias for children and adolescence. Wholesome lunches are vital in maintaining a healthy metabolism and give children energy for the rest of the school day. Children are advised to eat healthily but do not always do so because the choices of tastier, fatty foods offered in school cafeterias. The National School Lunch Program, NSLP, which is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools set nutritious guidelines for lunches served in school cafeterias (USDA). However, school campuses still offer foods high in fat as well as selling candy, chips, and soda in their vending machines, as well as their school shops. In order
Over the course of the next school year, countless elementary school teachers will be spending their own money stocking their classrooms with supplies which may not last more than a few months. Unplanned, new students will arrive throughout the year with little more than a pencil and a backpack, certainly not enough to get themselves engaged in active learning with the rest of their marker-wielding classmates. At recess, students will likely not have enough playground equipment including balls, jump ropes, sidewalk chalk, and the like. Because of this, they will have difficulty involving themselves in inclusive play and will resort to less productive and meaningful forms of play which can lead to underdeveloped social, emotional, and cognitive
In other words, the food is not delicious and there are not many choices. Also, when children don’t get proper nutrition, they have trouble focusing on school. Most students do not buy lunch because they feel it is unappealing and do not like the food served. Many students go to other kids and ask for food. In addition, many students do not eat breakfast, so they rely on lunch to fuel them for the day.
With the rise in popularity of easily accessible technology, young children have a serious deficiency of physical activity. Recess is one way that these students can receive the physical activity that they may not be getting at any other time. Dr. Murray, a pediatrician, “supports [recess] for many reasons, including physical fitness, which is important when childhood obesity is so common” (Gormly). Physical activity is not the only aspect of physical health that is improved by recess. Children need a healthy way to burn energy outside of the classroom instead of inside it (Youker). Children need to exercise for physical health, to burn energy, and to give their brain a break. Recess is a way to get all of these in one. Why should it be taken away from those who need it most? Recess gives physical benefits to children, and these physical benefits will give way to social benefits as
Earlier this year, my family and I went to Murray for my little brother’s basketball game. We walked into a clean school that had a very nice basketball court. The setup was well thought out and seemed to have everything in it. Flash forward a couple of weeks to when Nebraska City hosted a basketball tournament for the same age group at Northside School. “Where are the bleachers?” I asked when I noticed that there were only a couple rows of chairs set up on the far side of the gym. Turns out there were none. There was not even a scoreboard. Instead, they used a mini scoreboard on a table, similar to one used for wrestling matches that a spectator would have to try desperately to see. The same thing happens when my dad comes home from umpiring out of town. He tells my family how nice other fields are in other towns compared to ours. The same goes for our tennis courts. The demise of our sporting complexes is an important problem in the community, and possible solutions include: Complex usage fee, fundraisers and a hotel tax.
...thout recess, children are denied elements for social development. Physical education classes, or P.E., are the higher grades’ version of recess. At this level, juveniles engage in a more structured program with specific objectives. In Education Digest, Ann Rosewater from Team Up for Youth reflects on how organized sports are a bridge to adult achievements. Her report on the impact of organized sports exclaims “participation in physical activities have long term positive effects”. (Par 7) Details assert juveniles “connect with positive peer groups and provide the experience of failing yet trying again”. (Par 8, 9)
