About Me

MY name is Stephanie. This is my first semester at SUNY Albany. I have graduated in May from SUNY Cortland with my Bachelor's degree in Inclusive Childhood Education. I am going to be certified in teaching grades 1-6 in both general education and special education. I look forward to my future teaching career!

My Topic and Purpose

My topic is on the importance of having recess time and/or a time set aside for 'free time/period' during the school day. Physical and social involvement helps the mind stay awake, alert, and ready to learn. Without it, students become lethargic and do not obtain information they are learning about as well or at all. Providing recess to students helps them in multiple ways including their physical and mental health, social interaction/connection, and learning productivity.
