Recess is one of the best parts of the school day for elementary students. It’s an opportunity to run, play and have fun. And while exercise and burning off energy is important, students are also developing lifelong skills, like how to make new friends, how to take turns, and how to resolve conflict.
On today’s episode, our Public Information Specialist Mark Adam discusses recess with Genet Principal Wayne Grignon, Occupational Therapist Denise Lyle, and Monitor Karen LaFrank. They discuss recess in the East Greenbush Central School District and how important it is for the development of our students.
Also, students share their favorite spring activities, the staff profile features PPS Director Jessica Harris, and we feature Green Meadow Enrichment in the Student Activity Spotlight.
