During quiet time I usually set up the song first for quiet time it’s some type of Indian flute song it’s really sounds nice though. We do quiet time for 15 minutes but if we’re behind it’s usually about 10-12 minutes. What I really do in quiet time is usually drawing, reading or folding origami. It’s also fun drawing with my friends. I actually like doing quiet time because first of all we skip 15 minutes of our day and it sort of calms me down. So I feel happy we have quiet time in are class.

Here’s a link to the song Indian flute music

1. What things do you choose to do during your Quiet Time?

I like to draw,sleep, or just sit there.

2. What do you like or don’t like about Quiet Time, and why?

I like how we can do anything we want, because its practically the only time were free except for lunch and recess.

3.  What do you feel during Quiet Time?

I feel happy and sleepy, and sometimes bored, but the good way.

4.  What do you notice about it?

I think it is really helpful because if we didn’t finish some sort of work, then we can use quiet time to do so.

5. What does it mean to you?

It means a lot to me especially because i’m into drawing now.

6. What surprised you?

What surprised me is that the time goes by so fast when your actually doing something.

7.  Do you have any questions?

Nope.

In quiet time I really like to read and draw. Quiet time helps reduce stress the background music really helps its soft not loud and calming. The only thing I don’t like about quiet time is when I have nothing to do. Quiet time feels nice  your in your own bubble you are free to do whatever you like as long as it’s not loud and noisy. I noticed a lot of people tend to do their work. what does quiet time mean to me?  Being in your own bubble, you can not talk to others even your teacher, and it’s a time to relax from the world.

I find “Quiet Time” a nice way to calm down my brain, and sometimes relieve the stress out of my body, just like all the negative thoughts coming out of your soul within. Quiet is a nice time to be in your own personal bubble, catch up on unfinished work or just get a quick catnap.

Quiet time is a part of our weekly routine, and as a classroom, aren’t we all stressed once in  a while? What I usually do at Quiet time, I usually read a book, finish unfinished work, or I just sit there like a lump on the bump because that’s who I am!

Quiet time is an activity I will be always looking forward to every Monday to Thursday, (since Friday, we’re busy), I notice that Quiet time has been an important part of our daily schedule, and I’m proud to say that we are the only class in the school who does Quiet time!

I recommend Quiet time to everybody, no matter what age, gender, race, it doesn’t matter, Quiet will really improve your mood for the rest of your day!

Quiet time is something we do 3 times a week in class for 15 minutes while some soothing music is playing.During quiet time you have the freedom to do anything as long as its quiet such as catching up on school work,think,sleep and more.During quiet time you also have to stay silent and you have to stay in your own space and not disturb anyone.

What do I usually do during quiet time?

During quiet time I usually do work that I have to do but sometimes I read when I don’t have any work to do and sometimes I just think during quiet time when I don’t feel like reading and I don’t have any school work I have to do.

What do you like about quiet time and why?

What I like about quiet time is how relaxing it is and it gives us the time we need to do anything we have to do while its quiet for 15 minutes.

What do you feel during quiet time?

I feel calm, relaxed, soothed and stress free during quiet time. Stress is something that can interfere with what ever, like work, school work and more everyday things you have to do and quiet time helps relieve stress so you can do those things without feeling any stress at all.

I think quiet time is a something that all schools should have because of how useful it is. Quiet time is something that actually can relive stress, gives you time to do things you need to do and I definitely recommend quiet time for other schools. Thank you so much for reading about my post about quiet time in our class and I hope you have a wonderful day or night , Goodbye.

My Thoughts on the 10-20 Minutes of Quiet Time 

Kelly Grade 7

Quiet time is a time to relax, to empty your mind of all things negative, a time just for you and yourself only, no one else, not even your teachers :). Don’t let anyone into your personal bubble during the 10-20 minutes of just you.

During Quiet Time all I really do is work on my homework, take short naps, or doodle on the closest things near me, like binders or my hands.I enjoy Quiet time, but it really does suck when you can’t exactly talk to your friends, but its still a great way to relax, catch up on assignments, and have some time for yourself and only you, though I wish instead of having to sit in our hard, uncomfortable chairs we couch lay down on couches, but obviously, not many schools really have the money for 31 couches. Usually during Quiet Time I feel tired from all the stress working on assignments, plus other out of school activities at the same time, other days I feel bored, active, and sometimes even gloomy. I noticed how hard it is not to be able to talk to friends even if it’s the tiniest little thing, but overall I still find a way to communicate with nearby close friends, like passing notes (SORRY!!), but I guess you also start being thankful for the extra free time you have.

On occasions Quiet Time is nothing but school time being wasted, but on other days I thank the Gods for the extra free time to do anything I chose to do (quietly). It is time I use to calm myself down, relax, loosen up, and even catch up on work. I was quite surprised when teachers would actually let their students do whatever they chose to do (quietly) for 10-20 minutes, even to play internet games on computers and iPads! Have our classroom teachers lost their minds!?!?!?!?! IT’S MADNESS!!! IT’S SANITY! IT’S CRAZY! IT’S TRULY UNTHINKABLE!!!!!                                             

I have a few question which are…

Where in the world did we ever get the idea for “Quiet Time”?

Where did the idea of “Quiet Time” come from??

Don’t most people technically already have “Quiet Time” in their lives? So why do we need to be wasting precious learning time at school??
