Update:

We were supposed to meet with the principal after the students presented to discuss the proposed schedule to accomplish extending lunch and recess time to 25 minutes each. Due to the chaos of the end of the school year routine, we didn’t have a chance to meet. The school year ended and the teachers left feeling like the kids, we tried.


A week after the last day of school I got an email from the principal,


“I am planning on increasing the recess time to 20 minutes thereby increasing lunch to 20 minutes.  That will also allow teachers to receive a 40-minute lunch.  I watched the video several times and 20 minutes will accomplish our lunchtime goal.”

WE DID IT! We were able to convince our principal that 16 minutes for lunch and 16 minutes for recess is not long enough. Although we didn’t get the full 25 minutes we asked for, the third and fourth graders were able to make a case for the entire school to extend the lunch and recess time by four minutes!
