Body Breaks

Don't forget that getting outside is a PERFECT, technology FREE body break! Trees, leaves, snow, animals, and the beautiful sky of God's creation hold endless wonder and amazement. Take a break from the Daily Question in writing and write about an adventure outside!! The purpose is to write 3-4 sentences with detail. This is a perfect adventure, body break AND learning opportunity. Ask questions about what you find write about it!

GoNoodle is available on their WEBSITE or on YouTube it is free and offers short videos to get kids up and moving!

ClassDojo is a great resource of videos promoting Growth Mindset. I know I have been having a hard time adjusting to this change and finding myself with a negative mindset (I can't do this, This is never going to work, etc.). These are great videos, some that we have watched in class, but more importantly ones that remind us to change our mindset! Kids LOVE these and would be a good calm body break! I have linked the first GrowthMindset video and their YouTube channel.
