Wouldn’t it be great if we could build more downtime into each school day? In today’s hurried school climate, it’s hard to imagine setting aside time to let students self-direct, but there are some great benefits. Think of the powerful, important skills students practice: self-initiative, creativity and self-regulation. In our classroom, we have ten minutes of “quiet time” when students return from recess and lunch. Quiet time is an incredibly effective technique for getting the second half of the day off to a good start!
