Brain Breaks

Sometimes we take a brain break in class.  This is a time where we stop and do something that has nothing to do with what we are learning.  It is purposefully done, as it re-energizers the brain by getting blood and oxygen flowing.  It is like a refresh button for the wise leader, or the frontal lobe.  These brain breaks have been researched and really work to regain focus and help learning to stick rather than going in one ear and out the other.  You may find these are great when doing homework with your child.  You could do them before or half way through to help your little one get energized and focused.
