Brain Research

Energy Busters!

First day back. Awesome kids. Loads of energy! Solutions?

Brain Breaks.

I think I know these as Brain Gym.  Either way, putting some movement in the classroom sounds like a great idea to me.  Some of them in the first list below might seem a little cheesy (I am not sure it is possible to pull off a chicken impersonation and maintain your fifth grade swag?) but they do sound fun and a way to keep engaging body and mind. I really like the dice roll sheet.  Quick, snappy, independent.  Just like my kids.

 

 

How do you help kids engage their bodies and brains?

Here’s To A Great First Day of School!

Here’s to taking the time to see the potential and to developing the courage in all our students.

Here’s to being more than “most people” on the first day back and every day thereafter.

Here’s to seeing the art and beauty in the everyday.

Most people

Most people don’t care enough to make a difference.

Most people aren’t going to buy that new thing you’re selling.

Most people are afraid to take action.

Most people are too self-involved to do the generous work you’re hoping for.

Most people think they can’t afford it.

Most people won’t talk about it.

Most people aren’t going to read what you wrote.

Fortunately, you’re not most people. Neither are your best customers.
