The Wonder of Some Exercise

Mr. Hadley wrote a post on how he had decided to take his students on a walk during their 80 minute period which was held first thing in the morning. The purpose of this class period was to talk about study strategies. He wanted each individual student to find the best study strategy for them. He found that by not putting so many restrictions on them during the walking period that they were able to communicate with one another about the topic and by the time they got back inside they were very much focused on their work opposed to to fidgeting and creating distractions.

Following My Own Advice

Mr. Hadley wrote a post on exactly what his title says. He followed his own advice.

The post before this one was titled, The Wonder of Some Exercise. I think we have all been here. I know I have! I experience this problem more than twice a week. People tend to want to get their work, "Out of the way." Therefore, they have the tendency to want to work nonstop until it's done. However, this is not always the best way to do your work. When we try to sit down and get all of our work of the way everything seems to start running together. Mr. Hadley went on to tell how all of his students comments and post seem to sound the same instead of being unique like the usually are. We all need to take a break once in a while and when we do we usually end up with a better end result with whatever it is we are doing.
