Recess & Pokémon Cards

Recess is an important time of our school day as it allows kids to engage their bodies in physical activity. We know that our minds work best when our bodies are strong and healthy!  In order to encourage students to exercise during recess, I am asking that they only trade their Pokémon cards during the first recess.  They have been told that during the second recess they should be up and moving . . . no trading or even watching others trade.  I know they enjoy the cards and I also know they should be enjoying recess.  As a result, we agreed upon this compromise.  Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.  Thanks for helping me keep your kiddos up and moving so we can keep them learning in the classroom!!
