Quiet Time

Quiet Time is a brief, purposeful, and relaxed time of transition that takes place after lunch and recess before the rest of the school day continues.

A Middle-of-the-Day Strategy

Quiet time is an oasis of peace and calm in the midst of a busy and energetic school day.

Just 10 to 15 minutes to read, write, draw, work on a puzzle, or do some other quiet work can help children take a physical, mental, and emotional breather so they are more ready to engage in learning in the afternoon.
