Dear Principal Smith,

I am writing to you today to ask for more recess time. I think recess is very important for all students.

Recess helps us be healthy. When we play outside, we run and jump. This makes our bodies strong. It also helps us sleep better at night.

Recess helps us make friends. We can talk and play games with other kids. We learn how to share and be nice to each other. This makes school more fun.

More recess can help us learn better too. When we get to run around, we can focus better when we come back inside. Our brains need a break to learn new things.

Please think about giving us more time for recess. It will help us be healthier, make friends, and learn better. Thank you for listening.

Sincerely, Liam Brooks

Listen to More Recess Time!
