Victoria & I had a busy day at the Capitol, talking to legislators about how recess can help with the mental & physical health of our kids, and raise test scores! We also ran into some teachers from Madison Teachers Inc. & had a great conversation with them! #Recess60 #SayYesToRecess #Wisconsin

We asked #Wisconsin teachers how they felt about recess. They told us that "brain breaks" are not a substitute for recess! #SayYesToRecess #Recess60 #Recess #WisconsinSchools
"We currently have 30 minutes [of recess], but as young children working up until 11:45 each day with heavy content they lose focus by 11. A late morning pick me up recess would greatly impact behavior and focus, and then another in the afternoon. I implement brain breaks and movement in the classroom but nothing compares to a true recess. - A Wisconsin Teacher" Say Yes to Recess Wisconsin

We're not falling for these #recess myths any longer! Join us in ensuring all #Wisconsin elementary students get 60 minutes of recess! #Recess60 #SayYesToRecess #WI
"recess myths we aren't falling for: - recess is 'just' a break - physical education can replace recess - 'brain breaks' are good enough - recess can be taken away as punishment - learning doesn't happen outside of the classroom - less than 60 minutes of recess is enough!!!"

Thanks to the Liink Project for this graphic! They've been studying the correlation between improved outcomes in kids and 60 minutes of recess - this is why we're fighting for all #Wisconsin kids to have 60 minutes of unstructured, outdoor play each day! #Education #recess60 #SayYesToRecess

Kids need more books and outdoor play. Attention spans and emotional skills depend on it!
