Brain Breaks!!!

Throughout this year I have used different brain breaks in class each week. I didn't realize how much 5th graders would love them! During this preparation time for standardized testing my students have definitely needed the break. I found them very important in helping them focus. Tomorrow is the start of our testing and I am so proud of all their hard work in getting ready.

At this age I let them decide if they want to get up and dance or sit in their desk and watch. Normally, after about a minute they start moving to the beat and  jump in once they realize how much fun everyone else is having!
