Before you blog, I expect you to read the QUIET TIME BROCHURE posted on our class website. I look forward to hearing from you.
For quiet time, I like to eat snacks and draw. I like it because I can choose what I do. I don’t like that I can’t talk to my friends. I feel relaxed during quiet time. It surprised me that it is fun . I noticed that the class likes quiet time . I think all classes should do quiet time.
Quiet time,
It’s a time to reduce stress to help you calm down. I like to draw for quiet time because I can use the iPad for reference photos. I don’t like that I can’t listen to music because music helps me focus. I feel quiet during quiet time because that’s one of the only times I’m quiet other than listening to the teacher. I notice what the other people are doing. It doesn’t really mean anything to me. Something that surprised me is that almost everyone likes quiet time. I would recommend it to my 2 year old cousin who gets mad easily. I don’t have any questions.
Quiet Time really helps me reduce my stress, which means a lot to me I like to catch up on work, or I read. It really surprised me that I was able to complete enough work to level up my grade. Something I like about Quiet Time is how calm, and how quiet it is with the Indian Flute Music playing in the background. I also like how you can do whatever you want, like, catch up on work, Read, nap, stare off into space (Or maybe in a different universe!), as long as it’s not too loud. Occasionally I notice some whispers behind me, but I don’t mind. My stress was over the roof, but quiet time really reduced it.
Quiet time does not help me it makes me feel dumb but I read or draw when it’s quiet time. I don’t like quiet time because some people are talking. I don’t feel good because I don’t feel good. People are loud and quiet some people are asking to borrow the I-pads. It could calm you down but it doesn’t calm me down. It surprises me that we do quiet time because many teachers don’t give their students quiet time. Maybe people who are stressed out because they’re having a bad day. My question is why do people not have quiet time it can help you calm down.

Sleep or have snack or I will read a book.

Hello. Today I will be talking about quiet time. When quiet time starts I usually sleep, read or draw. I like quiet time because it helps me calm my brain because of the calm music. I feel calm and sleepy because no one talks and I’m usually sleepy. I notice that sometimes it makes me bored because i can’t talk to anyone and I like to talk a lot. I’m surprised some people still talk even though you’re not supposed to talk. I recommend it because it makes you feel calm and helps with stress but it can get boring while time. One question I have is that why do all schools not have quiet time? It’s good for you and helps you calm down.
1. What things do you choose to do during your Quiet Time? I draw most of the time and sometimes finish some of my due homework.
2. What do you like or do not like about Quiet Time, and why? I do not like the fact that its only for a brief period and sometimes people are talking, or I get distracted and go on my phone.
3. What do you feel during Quiet Time? I feel calm and relaxed
4. What do you notice about it? I notice that its quiet and you get to do a quite activity while listening to flute music
5. What does it mean to you? It means a calming subject
6. What surprised you? The fact that it is quiet
7. Who would you recommend it to? People who need to calm down and take a breath and do something quiet
8. Do you have any questions? no
Well, my favourite thing to do during Quiet Time is draw. I usually draw anime. I like Quiet time because it’s a time to relax, and also to do what YOU want to do. I feel calm. I almost feel so calm I can fall asleep! I notice the Indian Flute background music, and other than that there is no sound at all! It means a time to relax, reflect, and have fun. When I found out we were doing it, I was so happy! I would recommend this to almost every student out there, especially the older kids with stress piling up from homework. When was quiet time created? That’s what I wonder.
During Quiet time, I like to do my work, draw, and occasionally look out the window when I don’t know what to do. Something I like about Quiet Time is that I have time to myself and I could do anything I want as long as it’s not long or noisy. I also enjoy the Indian Flute Music in the background. Quiet time helps me calm down and helps me reduce stress so I could concentrate on my work more. Somethings I look around and notice is that everyone is calm and quiet. (But sometimes I even see people whispering to each other!) Quiet time means that I can calm myself down from all the stress from past days. Things that surprised me was that even the loudest people stayed quiet! I don’t have any questions because I understand what we’re suppose to do.
Well, during quiet time I like to read. I’m a really good reader so I find reading fun, and I often read for entertainment. I like quiet time because it’s a time for me to just sit down with a good book and just chill. My only issue with quiet time is that we don’t have a lot of time, 15 minutes isn’t a very long time to read. I usually read for 30-60 minutes at a time. The music is nice and relaxing though, so during quiet time I calm down. While I’m reading I notice that it’s very quiet(well it’s supposed to be, but still) besides the music, I also notice that after quiet time, I’m much calmer. Quiet time means a lot to me because I love the extra time(even though it’s only 15 minutes) to read. The fact that we can do almost whatever we want is surprising. I would recommend it to all my friends because it’s a good way to take a break from work. My only question is why can’t it be longer?
1;Read or draw.2:I like quit time cuz I can read or draw.3:Calm and relaxed.4:That no one talks.5;nothing.;6Nothing.7;To other class room.8 I don’t have any thing to ask.
For most times during Quiet Time, I chose to read. For two or three times I chose to draw, and I today I worked on my portfolio. I enjoy Quiet Time a lot and I enjoy the time when I can do whatever I want at PEACE. But when it comes to an end and I have to stop my reading, I do not want to stop. Sometimes I get tempted and want to talk to my friends. Most times I feel at peace and focused when I read. But sometimes I feel tempted to talk once in a while. I notice that others are also very silent at the time and focused when they are doing something. I feel like others do great and sometimes better than me at being silent. I hear the Indian flute music and I think that it adds great relaxation and completes the time of Quiet Time. At this time, it means I am allowed a 15 min break from work and to reset my mind. If it is in the morning, it also gives me time to feel more confident and prepared for the day ahead. I am surprised we have this program at school and do it so regularly. I never had this program in school ever before. I would recommend it to my family because once in a while my parents get stressed, or my sister gets overexcited for an event. Lastly, I am curious to know who introduced this program to Ms. Smith.
Quiet Time is one of my favourite things to do in a day. Why? Because I like to draw during Quiet Time, I draw anything that comes to my mind. I use Mrs. Smith’s iPad with permission.
I don’t like that its 15 minutes long, when I try to draw it ends before I could finish my drawing. Also, I don’t like that a lot of people go for the iPads I can’t seem to go get a iPad usually.
I feel pretty relaxed since there is nobody talking, we listen to “Indian Background Flute Music”, I like the beats of the song.
I notice that everyone seems to like Quiet Time, I also see a lot of people drawing on an iPad.
It seems pretty chill, I usually see most of the class being really loud. Its pretty different to how the class acts
most of the time.
I am surprised that we get quiet time nearly everyday! I love Quiet Time.
People who has stress and kids that don’t have a good time during subjects or anything so YES! I recommend it!
One of my questions are what is Quiet Time? Is it a break? Is it a Subject? How come there is no answers for that.
1. I like to read, draw, do art, and sometimes just look around the class.
2. I like how it’s quiet, and you can have time to think and stay calm, what I don’t like is that we have to stay quiet at the same time, I want to socialize and have free time at the same time.
3. I feel peaceful, and calm, and tired, sometimes hungry, and happy, (or sad, depends on what happened before)and relaxed.
4. People drawing with a tablet in front of them, some talking, some sleeping, and many are relaxed when we do quiet time.
5. What it means to me is a lot of things, it helps me stay calm, when I’m mad at some thing I calm down and relax, and unwind.
6. It surprise me how many people are affected, and how many are not.
7. I would recommend it to those who have anger issues, who needs to be calmed down and, those who want to unwind and/or need to be relaxed
8. no I have no questions.
Quiet Time.
I really love quiet time. It’s a time where you can reduce stress. When we do quiet time I like to draw a lot of things. I really like quiet time because it’s really calming. What I feel in quiet time is nothing, just me resting my hands. What I notice is nobody talks you can only hear the song in the background. The meaning in quiet time to me is really calming, it’s really calming to me because it’s the only time I can rest. It surprised me because I asked Mrs. Smith if we can sleep and she said yes! I’d recommend to everyone to just needs to rest. I have one question what if it’s urgent that you need to talk to Mrs. Smith
Quiet time. I can do every thing I want to do . Quiet time makes the teacher and student do any work they have not done and they can do it in the quiet time. In the quiet time the student can be quiet and the teacher can do a work. The student went they at home they have many people in the house so they not collective practice to do they homework and the quiet time is the good time to do the homework and to any thing they want to do. Quiet time is a good time for teacher and student to relax when they do the homework in the class and they can have a good sleep or have a good food to eat and relax. Some time the student and the teacher they need a time to relax and get their work done . Some times at the house they don’t have a quiet time to do the homework and quiet time is the good time to do the work collective practice.
Woah dude quiet time is so fun! I usually like to draw during quiet time or do something I like during quiet time. And reader, Yes you! I recommend it to YOU to try quiet time yourself. I promise that you would enjoy quiet time. It is usually 15 minutes, and put on meditation music, this should calm you down, it really helps! One of the reasons I like quiet time is that I don’t need to be bosses around and have to do this and that, I actually have freedom to do what I want to do. Whenever I do this I always feel calmer and wiser for some reason, and it always feels great after! I also notice that my mind is more clear and I can think better then before. This means a lot to me. It helps me with everything even my 𝓜𝓘𝓝𝓓 and I hope it means a lot to you too. I was surprised that it actually helped me with my mind and it also helped me to focus and be calm. I would share this with everybody I know and I hope you would to.

8. one short question. can I use my phone and use headphones while I’m listening to Relax Music
1. I sit there thinking of nothing looking at the timer wishing for it to be over.
2. I like it but I don’t like it at the same time, because it feels like 1 hour when its only been 15 minutes.
3. I feel really bored but relaxed at the same time.
4. I notice that it’s really hard to sit there without talking for such a long time.
5. it doesn’t really mean anything to me.
6. I’m surprised it’s so hard to keep my mouth shut.
7. I would recommend it to my mom, because she is very stressed when she comes home from work every day.
8. why can’t we use our phones during quiet time its not loud to use them.
During Quiet Time, I usually choose to read a novel from home, play chess online on either the iPad or computer.
What I like about Quiet Time is the ability to choose what to do in that 15 minute interval. What I don’t like about Quiet Time is not being able to talk or chat quietly with my friends or even interacting with them.
When Quiet Time sets in, I feel calm most of the time and start reading a book. Other times I’m tired and just fall partially asleep.
I don’t notice anything about Quiet Time other than clearing your mind and being able to freely do what you want to do.
Quiet Time to me means a relaxing part of the day.
Nothing surprised me about Quiet Time except the fact that this is the only class that does Quiet Time.
I would recommend Quiet Time to Noah because he’s very loud and uncontrollably goofy in so many ways.
I do not have any questions about Quiet Time.
