Kids Need The School Recess

When I was in grade school, many many years ago…I remember looking forward to recess.
Recess is just so much fun and if you are a kid, you enjoy this break as an opportunity to play to your heart's content. A very welcome break indeed from the confines of the classroom.
Now that my son is in 2nd grade, I can see that he too loves recess. No recess would pass without him playing. He often rush eating his packed snack so he can spend the rest of the time playing. What kid wouldn't right? I guess choosing between food and play, they'd definitely choose play!
I found a nice article stating why kids need recess. It's one good read, so check it out.
