Her 2017 survey yielded insights into policies based on many different factors, and found that schools in southern Maine typically would not cancel outdoor recess unless it was 20 degrees or colder, while schools in northern Maine would not cancel recess unless it was below zero. \u201cWhat I\u2019m hoping with the research is that schools take a look at their policies and think about what they are, think about why they are set at those temperatures and then think about how could small policy changes result in more outside time for kids,\u201d said Jacobs, adding that outdoor physical activity has many benefits including physical health and overall well-being. \u201cKids that move more do better in school and they\u2019re healthier physically and emotionally and so as educators it\u2019s really an important goal that we get kids moving as much as we can.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WABI (Channel 5) interviewed Lauren Jacobs, a lecturer in
