I've never done this before so bear with me and any feed back you have is greatly appreciated. Also, if you have a request for something you would like to see, please share that with me as well.
My first videos are not going to be school related at all. Since this is kind of my "tester" blog I wanted to share with you my favorite part of our day. We work so hard and so long at school that it is nice to take a break every once in awhile. I use brain breaks in my class frequently. They are a great way to either change the mental or physical state of a child/classroom when you have been sitting or working too long. They are also a great way to activate kids brains. Brain breaks are researched-based and have been proven to help stimulate brain function. My brain break of choice is the Just Dance videos you youtube. Every year it starts with just a few brave souls participating and always grows to the entire class busting a move. The kids love these breaks and tend to work harder when they know one is coming up. I love these breaks because it gives me an opportunity to watch my kids be kids. We ask them to be young adults so quickly in school... all day.... It is a nice reminder that they are just 7/8/9 years old when I get to watch them dance. I hope you enjoy. Any and all feedback is very welcome. I plan on having my first academic blog up by next Friday.
