/ #638 Balanced Calendar

2011-03-03 21:52

As a Cobb County Teacher and a parent, I have seen how this Balanced Calendar has
benefited our children with breaks throughout the year.When the children and teachers go long stretches without breaks,behavior becomes a problem and keeping the children engaged and excited about learning becomes more difficult. When we have a break the children come back ready to learn and teachers have time to reflect on their teaching practices and add fresh ideas and materials to lesson plans and come back refreshed and excited about teaching.
