[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 377343, member: 1233"] We have walk and talk before and after school, too. The kids who get there early go out to the playground and walk and socialize. It cut WAY back on fights because the kids are all engaged in doing something physical but not confrontational. No one can play keep away or games like that because it is hard to roll up the playground. After school the bus lines are in a big open area that used to be an open breezeway between buildings. The kids can walk in a circuit or sit in their bus lines. It has even cut down on bus fights - which no one expected. The kids know it isn't so much a "punishment" but something to help them keep on task when they are back in class. Not every kid does it all recess, depends on how it was assigned. Some kids choose to do it at recess. If kids want to run they can, but they have to be responsible enough not to run into anyone. It just makes such a HUGE difference after lunch for the entire class - there isn't that one student with so much energy he cannot sit still or think. [/QUOTE]
