RECREATION
Learning is hard
work.It may be
exciting , but it”s also
difficult. On most shool
days, students rise too
early , eat too little , and
earn even less
for their efforts. Most aren”t
at school because
it was their
chosen activity of
the day. The LAW
requires it. No wonder
they often look
offended when the
roll is taken ! They
know that for
the next several
hours much will
be given to
them and much
will be required. They will
be expected to
assimilate in mere
minutes the concepts
that have taken
you years to
understand.SO GIVE THEM
A BREAK A
BREAK---literally.Hit the “
PAUSE” button once
in a while.
Give
your students a “
timely time –out “.It will
be good for
their bodies , minds , and spirits. Set
the borders , and then
turn them loose
for LITTLE PLAYTIME. The books
will always be
there , but the
moment is fleeting. In
fact , that moment may
be the most
OPPORTUNE teaching time. WEAVE
your subject matter
into games and
downtime activities.
The change
will benefit the
TEACHERS as much
as the student !
“ I NEVER
DID A DAY”S
WORK IN MY
LIFE.IT WAS ALL
FUN. “---Thomas Edison.
