“February is crazy, so give your kids some brain breaks!” –Yoko

I’m sure Yoko is not the only one feeling the symptoms of fidgety February.  But, have no fear, our Lead SLP-A has a solution for us!  Check out this website that teachers at one of her schools—Learning Without Limits—are using with their students in the classroom.  The kooky, silly videos from GoNoodle provide fun ways for kids to move their bodies for a few minutes before getting back to work.

You likely don’t need any further convincing that students need more movement in their days, but in case you do…
 
Children naturally start fidgeting in order to get the movement their body so desperately needs and is not getting enough of to “turn their brain on.” What happens when the children start fidgeting? We ask them to sit still and pay attention; therefore, their brain goes back to “sleep.”  (Washington Post, 2014)

How might you build a minute or two of movement into even our briefest intervention groups?
