Like with regular schooling, it’s important children are active and blow off steam. For Blaine and Plymouth’s eLearning Pod Service, kids have time scheduled for outdoor recess time. This time is to get some fresh air, have some fun, and come back ready to exercise their brains. If a child is ill or on vacation, they do offer make-up classes.
