Brain Breaks!

We love to do brain breaks in our classroom.  It is always fun to get up and get moving a little bit after we have been working so hard.  Brain breaks help to refresh the mind so the students are able to focus and concentrate to their full ability!  I always love when a student comes in with a request for a new brain break that they found on their own!  That happened this week.  We have been dancing and singing a happy song this week!  I also had a student request that it go on the blog so they can find it at home!  So here it is, dance and get a little silly with your child as you sing the happy song!

Not all of our brain breaks are this long, some of them are only a minute or two.   A lot of times we go to www.gonoodle.com and do their brain breaks.  

You may also hear your child talk about our whole group music practices.  All of the first grade students are meeting together for music to practice for their concert.  Sometimes, they are going to music on days that we don't normally have music.  They are telling the truth, our schedule is just a little bit off right now.  Our music concert is on March 10th at the High School with an Open House back at the Elementary School.  Make sure you bring your camera with you, we will have our photo booth back in action this year!

If you have not returned your child's permission slip for our walking field trips, please do so before Friday!
