a closer look at recess. you know what it is. it's a time for children to get out and play. it's not required in all schools, but should it be? abc news reporter morgan norwood has more on how recess plays into the schools day. >> way too many recess is a classic part of the school day. time to just be kids. >> the rest of the day, they're told who to sit next to and how to sit and where to stand and when to stand. the recess time is the time when they really have a break from that. >> but not all kids in the us get equal access to recess every day. dr. kathy ramster, a founding member of the global recess alliance, says sometimes recess gets replaced with more class time or recess is taken away as a punishment. but studies show that kids who are more active are actually better learners and perform better academically. >> we could look at japan, south korea and finland as countries cities that consistently perform at the top of the world in academics and mandate and allow for 60 plus minutes a day of

outside time in recess. and so the idea that recess and academics aren't compatible, the data just don't support. >> dr. william massey, a professor at oregon state university who researches the intersection of play and child development, says some states are now putting more emphasis on recess, passing new legislation. just this year, daily recess has currently mandatory in only 12 states. >> studies have shown that children who get more than 20 minutes a day of recess are more on task in the classroom than kids who don't get that 20 minute marker. >> and it's not just about the amount of time allotted for recess, but the quality of that break in the day. a problem often affecting children at under-resourced schools. you know, is it just a barren blacktop with a chain link fence around it and nets that aren't even there on basketball hoops? >> we have to think about how we resource the schools, how we train and prepare monitors, how we organize this space, and that we maximize the use of the resources that we do have and we find other ways to really pay

attention to the way recess together. experts say the best way to find out if your child is having quality recess each day is to ask them. >> and if you're not satisfied with that answer, link up with other parents and community members through the pta and facebook groups. >> a lot of recess legislation that's happened over the past ten years. parents have been the driving force, parents understanding that they are a powerful lever is an important thing. >> morgan norwood, abc news, new york. >> cases of rsv are on the rise in parts of the country, but now health officials are concerned over a shortage of the shot. rsv is a common respiratory virus that causes mild cold like symptoms for most, but it kills hundreds of young children every year in hospitalizes thousands. in texas, health officials say cases of rsv are overwhelming emergency rooms. the cdc released a health alert in october with new recommendations to ensure the most vulnerable children would be prioritized. >> as this is concerning because while we're seeing the rise in

rsv, we're limiting the ability for those kids that are vulnerable to rsv to get the protection they need. >> concerns about the rsv shot are heightened as doctors say the so-called tripledemic of rsv, covid 19 and the flu is fast approaching. covid treatments and testing will now cost you directly. >> yesterday marked six months from the end of the federal health emergency. so that means people who don't have or use their health insurance to cover covid costs will have to pay out of pocket. california law required health plans to continue covering covid vaccines, treatments and testing, even for out-of-network care for six months after the federal expiration expiration. >> and today's gma first look, some christmas tree farms are reporting a tree shortage this year. here's abc news reporter trevor ault in this morning's gma first look some christmas tree farms saying they're not open for business this year on new york's long island shamrock christmas tree farm owner joe shipman says a major shipment of the most popular frazier

christmas trees was canceled due to the shortage. >> and now for the first time in 30 years, they'll have to take this holiday season off. >> we felt the right decision was to close the farm this year, let the field get a little bit bigger and give us time to source some trees for next year. but before you rush to grab a hatchet and start chopping the first available tree, you find experts say there should still be plenty of options for you and your family. >> we really want to reassure consumers that that might be happening in one local instance, in one particular retailer. >> and coming up at 7 a.m, what you need to know to get the perfect christmas tree with your gma first. look, i'm trevor ault abc news new york. >> it's nice. >> is there a christmas tree in a box? this sure is. okay. sure is. waiting to be so you don't have to worry about a shortage or anything. >> that's just what it's going to be. get several years of use. >> yeah. you know, a little fake snow on it. >> oh. oh nice. i like that ambiance. >> i know something about it.

highest in the north bay. and then we'll add on to those totals on wednesday as those showers become more area wide. we're still thinking about a quarter to a half of an inch for most through midweek, a lot higher in the north bay where that rain is kind of settling there for a little bit longer. on tuesday. here's the accuweather seven day forecast. dry today rain mainly in the north bay tomorrow but then wednesday it's area wide with the heaviest coming in the evening. we'll still keep scattered showers in the forecast thursday and friday. but notice these are all level one light storms on the storm impact scale. guys >> thanks, joe. here's a look at your traffic this morning. there is a sig alert because there was a deadly crash in pittsburgh that is going to be on eastbound for four before railroad avenue. they are taking you off the highway there on bailey road. and we don't know when that is going to reopen. now, let's take a look at highway 80. this is in emeryville. all and certainly always busy at this time in the morning, although there are no blocked lanes right now. and right now, the bay bridge is still as usual. of course, that will change later this week as

quakes registered on friday, and scientists are now monitoring the area. >> one of the world's most active volcanoes has erupted. mount etna in italy is lighting up the sky. italian officials say the height of the eruption reached more than 14,000ft above sea level. you can see the lava spewing out of mount etna overnight in august. an ash cloud from an eruption caused headaches for travelers after it canceled and delayed dozens of flights in sicily. >> caught on camera, houston police say a good samaritan risked his life in the middle of a shootout to get an injured officer to safety. >> hey, come this way. you're okay, bro. you're okay. you're okay. >> oh, my goodness. john lally says he was on his way to work when he saw the officer get hit and happened during a freeway shooting between a carjacking suspect and police force. the officer was shot in the leg is expected to be okay. lally says he had he has had previous run
