Rainy Day Recess
First graders in Beth Meeks room at HES don’t let
a rainy day get them down. Meeks uses her laptop and a United
Streaming Rainy Day Recess video to help her class exercise on
days when it is too cold or rainy for recess. Class favorites
include “Alphabet Rock” and “Follow the Leader.” “It gives them
a chance to get some energy out,” said Meeks. “Then we can get
back to work.”
