“Party time!" The teacher calls out. "Pass out the treats and drinks." “But we can't play a game then.” says the students. Parties are awesome in school, but they are not long enough. Some people think it should stay the same, they think 30 minutes is enough. I think we should have longer time because it doesn't take much time out of our learning, we do not have enough time, and it is easy to change.   One reason we should have more time to party is because it doesn't disrupt much of our learning. Having longer party time really does not take much time out of our learning, because kindergarten play almost all day long, first grade starts to get assignments but, they still play every once in awhile. Besides fifth grade should have some free time not just recess and lunch. Obviously in middle school we will learn more and have no more parties and that makes us sad. And of course we play educational games. Once we played Jeopardy, we had to answer questions that we didn't know. SO we learned and it was fun. Next when we do not have enough time to do the things we want. One reason we do not have enough time is because we pass out the treats, cards and activities. And when we are done with that we do not have enough time to play games, and that is the fun part, games and treats. Another reason is we have to get packed up at the end of the day. Our parties are at the end of the day and we have to get packed up early. Some schools have 45 minutes or even an hour. For example a fifth grade classroom at Hoover Elementary has 45 minutes. “ Our classroom parties generally begin at 2:45 P.M. and go until 3:30 P.M. So 45 minutes is a good estimate although teachers may sometimes shorten the time if necessary.” Said Rob Boes, Hoover Elementary teacher. So again I think 45 minutes will be perfect for us. Next if we have longer party time it is easy to change. 30 to 45, come do you think that is hard? We can make the party start earlier, it would let us have enough time to pack up for the end of the day too. I said this before and teachers will love it but it doesn't take much time out of our learning and some kids like that. They are all about learning but sometimes they need a break. In conclusion I think the parties should be longer and because it doesn't take much time out of our learning, we do not have enough time, and it is easy to change. It should change! So when the teachers says “Party time!” the students won’t complain. In fact they will have more time to play a game or two, and that is the way it should be.
