This seems like a real logical idea. A few pilot schools have tested the validity of having kids go to recess, then come in to lunch, then back to class.
They've found kids come back from recess HUNGRY, eating a better lunch and drinking more liquids and settled down and ready to get back to work in class when done that way.
When lunch is first, kids are excited to get outside so they eat lunch in a matter of minutes (if at all) and then they're wired when they come inside for class and have to have a 'settle down' time, which takes away from teaching time.
This seems so logical, I wonder why it isn't the standard? I'm going to email my grandson's teacher to see if they've investigated this method.
