                     More Recess makes a difference.

        I remember the days where we could go outside two times at school. That was when I was in kindergarten to second grade. That doesn’t happen when you are in fourth grade, which I am in. More recess is great because you get a lot of exercise, teachers have more time to correct the work that they don’t have time to do, and finally, we get to spend more time with friends.

        More recess makes a difference because we get a lot of exercise. When I was in second to third grade would, sometimes the   teachers would take us outside to play kickball. You don’t know it, but while you are outside having a good time, you are still getting a great exercise. Although, kickball isn’t the only way to get good exercise, you could play tag, or just run around for fun. It doesn’t matter what you do as long as you are having a good time.

        More recess makes a difference because the teachers have more time to correct the work that they don’t have time to do. One time while I was in second grade we had test on a Tuesday, my teacher said we would get them back on Thursday, but we ended up getting them back two weeks later. This change in the school day is better for students and teachers.

        More recess makes a difference because we get to spend more time with friends. Some of my best friends are in other classes and we pretty much never get to talk to each other. If we had more recess this wouldn’t be such a problem. I know there is such thing as play dates, but kids these days are really busy. I might not be, but some kids really are.

        All of these reasons have a meaning and all kids can relate to them. Let’s hope it even happens.
