“We do our ‘JiJi time’ at the end of the day. That’s one of the hardest time of the day to for kids to stay focused [but] we have kids working up to the bell, they don’t want to go home,” said Heath Squires, 6th grade teacher from Union Hill School in Worcester. “[There is] such genuine enjoyment and buy in from the kids.”
