2. Indoor recess isn't always as bad as it seems. The key is having plenty of options available.
Yesterday there were two students playing chess, a future astronomer watching a YouTube channel that features easy-to-understand videos about the cosmos, a group of students playing Clue, a girl working to get her reading response assignment finished early, and a couple of girls who created the Empire State Building from wooden blocks by using a reference photo on the iPad.
And lots of kinesthetic activities, as opposed to sitting in front of an old movie in the auditorium, which is how many schools I have worked at run their indoor recess days.
