As a principal of an elementary school, I am always looking for ways to improve my student’s testing scores. I am located in the heart of the most crime ridden area in Indianapolis. Since my students have many environmental issues at home, I wanted to set up the best testing situation possible in my school. I want them to have every opportunity and chance to do well on any test that they take.…
Grandview middle school needs to have recess every day to give the kids a break. Giving the kids a break will let there brains be refreshed and ready to learn. Recess will give the kids bonding time to make friends and stop from getting bullied, and some kids have to owe lunch so recess will give them a chance to have more playing time with there friends. Recess will give the kids some air, and let all there stress or anything outs. “Recess helps people learn better and faster when their efforts are distributed rather thsn concentrated.” These are the reasons middle schools need recess.…

Now, a lot of playground equipment back then is no longer part of todays, playground equipment. For example, the merry-go-arounds, teeter totters, and monkey bar have been removed because too many children were getting hurt. We had balls of all kinds, jump ropes, hop scotch and even played hide-seek. I had three to four friend that stayed in my group to have fun with the activities we chose to play whether they were inside games or outside. However, if it was cold or raining our class had many fun activities that we could play as a group or as individuals. Our gym class was in the lunch room and after lunch was served the tables were folded up and lined against the walls. We had physical education every day. Today, some schools does not have physical education and the ones that do may have PE every other day or maybe half the time that should be allotted by state regulations. According to (Primary Headship, 2008), “teachers at primary schools, the requirements PE hours taught per week has risen from two to five” (p. 1).…

On the night of November 8, 2010 the Cy-Fairs Board of Education members led by Dr.John Olgletree started out with the accomplishments of their schools athletics, art, dance, and literacy accomplishment thus far. From there they took a vote on whose name should represent one of the new schools that was in the process of being built in the Cy- Fair district. The former teacher Cheryl Salyards was in the running for her name to be on the school. Of the seven board members four of them voted for Cheryl Salyards. A teacher who had taught hearing impaired student for the past thirty-two years. I really thought that was the most interesting part of the meeting because I never knew how the school’s names were selected.…
Attention all students! School is starting August thirty-first! The day most students dread most is happening two days earlier than usual. The times the schools start are also changing.

Students going to HeLa, your school will start at 8:05 a.m. and at 2:35 p.m. Sixth and Seventh graders, school will begin at 8:05 and end at 2:35. You and HeLa students share school times! Middle schoolers may be going ten minutes earlier, but you also get to leave ten minutes earlier.…
“According to the Pediatrics journal “The Crucial Role of Recess in School,” “children develop intellectual constructs and cognitive understanding through interactive, manipulative experiences” (Murray and Ramstetter 183). In other words, children experience and learn various cognitive skills that are not learned in a classroom, but during unstructured play at recess. If one were to study elementary students throughout the school day, he/she would notice that the children become inattentive and restless after sitting at a desk for a period of time. Recess gives children the time that they need to release energy to be able to come back to class more concentrated and productive. When recess is eliminated from elementary schools, these cognitive benefits and skills are lost. Even with more instructional time, most of it would be lost trying to get the children to pay attention throughout an entire school day. Along with cognitive benefits come social and emotional benefits. “Recess promotes social and emotional learning and development for children by offering them time to engage in peer interactions…” (Murray and Ramstetter 184). While interacting with other children at recess, students learn communication skills that they wouldn’t learn sitting in a classroom or at home. Some skills include cooperation, sharing, problem solving, and self-control. All of these skills are used throughout the rest of a child’s life and are vital to learn in order to be successful in the classroom as well as in future activities. Making the decision to ban recess strips children of the opportunity to learn and practice these traits. Not only are emotional, cognitive, and social opportunities taken away, but physical ones are as well. Many people in society today complain and argue about how obesity has taken over the country, and that children need to become more active.…
I do not think that our school district should allow middle school students to leave during lunch. I think it is to much for kids in seventh and eight grade to leave during lunch.This privilage is also something that should be looked forward to for in high school. In this essay I will explain to you why this idea is not the best for kids in middle school.…
Some Sumer activities that I like to do or achieve for the school break are having fun with my friends and family and play. On really hot days we go down to the lake and play in the water or go fishing. I also like to play with my dog and go for walks with her if I'm not dragging her all the way there and back. Sometimes I do work with my dad most of the times it involves a lot of elbow grease. I love to do fun activities with my mom that does relate a little work, at the end she gets us a treat. On the days I'm not doing anything I go out with friends or they come to my house, and if I'm good we go to get air, other wise, we just watch movies and relax. On other days when we are in the garden I like to swim, maybe even play with the sprinklers and bother my brothers.…
School lunch... The thought of it sends many many children running in fear, but, in all honesty, it is not nearly as bad as many people believe. School lunches are more affordable than what most kids would bring from home, taste much better than the infamous name suggests, but many days, are not very healthy.…
Ah recess, the 30 minute time period where embarrassment didn’t exist. The embarrassing part really didn’t happen until I had to go back to class after recess. It was sorta embarrassing as well during recess, but not as much. While all the other kids were out in the field, Jennifer and I were sitting on the blacktop with our friend Adora. Adora had a keychain sized penguin toy where it’s beak would open and close. Jennifer asked Adora if she could borrow her toy and of course Adora said yes. Jennifer was fascinated by this toy penguin. She kept playing with it. After a while, I saw the light bulb go off above her head. Jennifer decided to peck me with the penguin. In my opinion, that was a very bad idea. Jennifer and I weren’t close at the…
