With spring finally here, you’re enjoying the nicer weather, the sun is shining, your overall mood is better, and you can start to see the light at the end of the tunnel that is the end of the school year. Unfortunately, so can your students. They’re coming out of winter where they’ve been inside, they are tired of being in the same classroom five days a week, and all they want to do is be outside and play with their friends. That’s right, you and your students have spring fever.
With a few more months left until the last day of school, you still need to keep them engaged and focused on learning. So how do you do that? In today’s episode, we’re sharing three tips that will help with the spring fever in the classroom and create a management plan for any behavior problems that may occur.

Well, it’s that time of year when the weather where you live can either produce snow, ice, rain, freezing temperatures, or poor air quality (depending on where you live, of course!). And while it can affect your commute to and from work, as teachers, it also affects your ability to have recess outside.
Having an opportunity to burn some energy, play with your friends, and take a break from school is something that students (and teachers) look forward to. Just because there’s bad weather, it doesn't mean that your kids still can't have fun playing. So in today’s episode, we’re sharing 20 indoor recess ideas that you can use with your students.
