Ups and Downs

Sometimes as the days get shorter and the sun shines less we start to feel down a little bit more.  It’s important to find activities that keep us upbeat and in good spirits as there is more darkness outside.  Sunlight gives us Vitamin D which helps boosts our mood, but in the classroom we can find other ways to do the same.  We use Gonoodle to take brain breaks and this helps boost kids moods out of their bummed down moods.  Whether it is an energizer to get them motivated or a yoga/calming down right after lunch to get them back and ready to work.  These little brain breaks among other things are just one of the ways we help keep the energy positive in the classroom so the students are eager to work.
