Play, then Eat; Shift May Bring Gains at School

I loved this article. I always love when simple, common sense policy seems to be spreading in American public schools. It's easy to feel defeat....but take that, obesity epidemic, take that no-recess principals! The norm: lunch, then recess. The solution: recess, then lunch. Kids eat healthier, lose less instruction time, feel better about themselves, etc. In my classroom we go outside (or gross motor play inside) directly before eating--I also find my kids work up more of an appetite for trying new foods!
