(51,674 posts)and kids have so much energy it is exhausting. I would take my class out every hour and a half for a "bathroom break" so we could all use the bathroom at once (fewer kids coming and going during lessons) and they ran laps around the playground for 10 min. It helped them to sit still until the next bathroom break. It worked! There were fewer interruptions and they focused on lessons better.
