GoNoodle

You may have heard your kiddo talk about our brain breaks, GoNoodle or our monster Squatchy. Well let me clear up all of those terms for you. A brain break is like an energising time out. As you know most kids of any age have a hard time sitting still.I don't know about you but I still have a hard time sitting still! When the kiddos are getting too antsy and need some movement to refocus we do a brain break. A brain break could be doing a dance, stretching, deep breathing or doing yoga-it all depends on the mood of our kids.
GoNoodle is a brain break website that gives you access to free and appropriate movement videos. Each time our class completes a brain break from the GoNoodle website we get points. We trade those points in to raise our class champ.

You get to pick your classroom Champ character and of course we picked Squatchy Berger:

As you pick new brain breaks for your class, you earn points and can earn more class Champs!

So there you have it. I'll leave you with a video of our kiddos groovin' to "Awesome Rainbows".
