Two Recesses Are Better Than One!
By Libby and Lowri 
We strongly believe that elementary school students should have not only one recess but two. We have based our opinion on several reasons. Just dive into our article to find out why kids need so much time to play on the playground, run around on the field, and chat with their friends!
Our first reason is that throughout the day a lot of children like us get very anxious and begin to lose focus. Many students wonder how to get out of class, such as fake a bathroom break. If we had more time outside we would have more time to release our crazy energy!
Although there may be a risk of injuries out at recess, if you have Terrific and Focused monitors, that risk is thrown out the window! We believe this because according to scholastic.com “61% of school injuries are caused on playgrounds without undivided supervision”.
Not only do many websites we have read think that children our age should have two recesses, but many experts agree that playing helps children learn. Many teachers, students, and parents also think that it is very important for kids just like us to have two recess breaks instead of one.
As you can clearly see there are many reasons that children deserve at least 45 minutes out of a 6 hour school day to play, get exercise, and socialize with their besties. What do you think?
