Recess
Play has an essential role in the healthy development of the child's brain; therefore, we attempt to go outside every day at Thacher Montessori. The exception is, of course, in the most extreme weather, or at times when classroom schedules preclude outside time.
Please remember to send your child in with hats, mittens, snow pants, and boots every day. Even with no snow on the ground, boots and snow pants help your child stay warm. In the event of extreme weather, students will have access to the gym (if available) during their recess time in small groups. Smaller groups ensure safe play in the large gym space yet still allow children the opportunity to expend their extra energy!
If you have any questions regarding our recess policy, please refer them directly to
