#idk what its like for older kids but when i was in prek-1st grade they just had little activities set up around the classroom

I think I'm actually just reinventing Montessori schools. I'm fine with that

I think that we should add arts and crafts freedom time as a recess activity. like along with the regular playground stuff there should also just be chalk offered to draw on the ground and maybe an entire art studio room with various basic kid-friendly art supplies for them to play with if they aren't in a running and jumping mood (or have issues with physical activity). also make the entire art room solid concrete so you can literally spray it down with a hose every couple of weeks because you cannot trust hundreds of children with infinite art supplies
