8. No I don’t have any questions.
The things I choose to do in quiet are usually day dreaming, I stare intensely at a spot without blinking and thinking about life. Something I like about quiet time is that we can freely choose anything we want and it’s quiet so whenever I am day dreaming, I don’t get disturbed by loud noise. During quiet time I feel delighted because we schedule quiet time right before lunch, so I feel relaxed going into lunch. What I notice about quiet time, is that majority of my classmates are mostly reading. What quiet time means to me is a time where we can relax and remove all our stress away. Quiet time always surprises me with how dead silent it is, sometimes it makes me feel uncomfortable but also happy. I would recommend quiet time to a person who is stressed. I don’t have any questions for quiet time.
Normally during quiet time I either read, sit there just thinking about random stuff in my life, or draw on my hand. There’s nothing I don’t like about quiet time but I like how we can do whatever we want because it’s just calming to do whatever you want. During quiet time I feel calm. During quiet time I notice that for the first few minutes, people normally still talk, but afterwards it’s quiet. For me quiet time doesn’t really mean anything to me. Something about quiet time that surprises me is how quiet everyone is because it’s so rare for everyone to be quiet. I’d recommend quiet time to someone who needs to relax if they’re stressed or worried. I don’t have any questions.
In quiet time I choose doing plasticine art. I like I can do my work quiet. I don’t like is when I don’t know some thing I can’t ask somebody. Hmm I feel I can do my work with quiet and no guy can riot me. It is good. I can sleep, watching Youtube and do homework. It can take a short rest, be more alert and more productive. First time I study in Douglas school I surprised with quiet time. I want to recommend to my grandmother.
Yes, why can’t some body talking with their friends in quiet time?
During our Quiet time, I usually play some card games by myself. Something I like about our Quiet time is that we can do whatever we want because that is what makes our Quiet time enjoyable. During Quiet time, I always feel relaxed. In Quiet time, I’ve noticed that some people talk when they’re not supposed to. To me, Quiet time feels like a chance to relax my brain and restart my day. Nothing surprised me about Quiet time. I would recommend Quiet time to my Family. I do not have any questions about Quiet time.
I usually just draw or think about random things that are or that has happened in my life. I like how it’s really quiet and calm during quiet time, and I also like it because it’s rarely quiet in my house since Jayden always calls his friends and it sometimes annoys me because they’re always so loud. I usually feel relaxed during quiet time. I noticed that it’s almost the only time when the whole class is actually quiet. Quiet time doesn’t really means anything to me. When we first did quiet time it surprised me since it’s almost the only time when the whole class is quiet. I would recommend quiet time to someone that isn’t really a calm person. I don’t have any questions about quiet time.
Q.1 I usually look at the I pads for drawing references I probably take about 3 of 4 minutes doing that until I find a picture I like than I start to draw it. But if I am not drawing i probably am catching up on my extra work /homework. Q.2 I like that you get a 15 minute brake from your work and you get the freedom to do what ever you want. Q.3 During quite time I feel relaxed because I can focus on something other than the teacher and I don’t have to do work if I don’t want to I also feel happy because I can do some random stuff without getting in trouble for not doing my work. Q.4 I notice when ever we have quite time the class seems more relaxed and happy after because it was a good break. Q.5 What quiet time means to me is having a time to do what ever you want (unless its jumping around and being silly) and many people injoy having a break. Q.6 Noting has really suprised me other than not many people are better after quite time I don’t really think that quite time calms down our class like it did the school that first started quite time. Q.7 I’m not gonna lie I would recommend it to my litte sister since she’s a bit cray cray. Q.8 No I don’t have any questions I think I understand quite time pretty well.
When we do Quiet Time, I usually read a book that I want to read or a book from the list. I sometimes do some unfinished schoolwork or I just stare into space waiting for Quiet Time to end. I also like to sleep or take a nap whenever I’m tired. I like Quiet Time because it’s like the same thing as our morning walk. But we don’t go outside. We take a break from school work and we get to rest and clear our minds. The flute music that we use is alright because it’s peaceful but sometimes, it’s a bit loud. I guess the only thing that I don’t like about Quiet Time is when I don’t have anything to do and I get bored and so I just look at the timer, waiting for it to end. I feel peaceful and stress from usual schoolwork that I have is lifted a bit. I notice that people are quiet during Quiet Time hence the name. There’s nothing else that I really notice about Quiet Time but besides some people talking and/or whispering. To me Quiet Time means a part of a day that I can relax and just do something that doesn’t involve schoolwork. I also don’t have to pay attention to anything. Nothing surprises me in Quiet Time. I would recommend it to people or schools that might have students or teachers that are really stressed under a lot of pressure. I don’t question or have questions about Quiet Time. I think it’s an amazing program.

When we do Quiet Time, I usually draw. I like to draw my favourite flags of the world. I also like to read when I don’t want to draw. I like quiet time because I have the freedom to do anything by myself. However, I don’t like how you can’t play or do something quiet with my friends. I feel calm during quiet time because I’m in my personal bubble. I noticed when I do quite time I don’t talk to my friends. It means I have time for my hobby; drawing flags. I was surprised that I like quite time. I thought I would’ve hated it because I couldn’t talk to my friends. I would recommend it to classes that are aggressive and energetic. I do not have any questions.
1. I usually draw, but if I have work to do then I’ll finish it.
2. I don’t mind Quiet Time because I basically do the same thing at home without any music or music I like. However, I really hate the chimes playing before Quiet Time. I don’t like those type of noises, and I would feel more nervous about Quiet Time even when I shouldn’t be.
3. I feel all right, It helps me finish my work and worry less about deadlines. If I don’t have work then I can draw whatever that comes into my head.
4. I noticed that I sometimes feel more relaxed, but the chimes ruin it. It makes me feel more tense, and my brain starts to feel dissatisfied.
5. I’m not really sure, I think it just means I get to finish my work.
6. Nothing surprised me that much, I had Quiet Time last year as well. My former teacher would let us listen to our own music though, it was really relaxing because there were no extra sounds like the chimes.
7. I would recommend it to anyone that feels stressed out. Quiet Time really helps you feel much calmer and relaxed. Doing whatever you want makes it even better.
8. Not really, no.
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 my classmate because he’s very loud and uncontrollably goofy in so many ways.
I do not have any questions about Quiet Time.
I usually like to read, do unfinished work, draw things, or even just lay my head on the desk and have a rest. I don’t have anything I dislike about quiet time because its relaxing and you can do any thing u want, which is quiet. I like the relaxing music very much and also the chimer. I feel very relaxing and calm during quiet time. It helps to calm down when you’re stressed and the chimer and the relaxing flute music helps too. It means a lot because you get a break from work and also you can have some time for your self. At first I was surprised how relaxing and calm it makes me during quiet time, and I like that you have some alone time. I don’t have any thing to recommend really because every thing that is needed for quiet time is there. No, I do not have any questions.
