GoNoodle Blogger Blitz!

Do you GoNoodle? We sure do!!! I introduced GoNoodle on the first day of school this year! (I really need a brain break!!) It was also a great way to teach my expectations for using my interactive whiteboard marker. I always have the students vote on which Champ we are going to use. They come up to the board and make a tally beside their vote. Then, we count and find out our winner!

This picture is from last year. Our first Champ for this year is McPufferson!
(I may have swayed their voting a little bit!!)
I seem to have a very chatty class this year, so I’m going to try incorporating GoNoodle as an incentive. We’ll still do our regular brain breaks throughout the day, but I’d like for them to earn some back-to-back breaks or an indoor recess brain break. I’m going to use this super cute ten frame chart from Little Warriors to help my students see how close (or far) they are from earning their reward! They can earn a Champ on the chart when everyone is on task, following directions, walking quietly in line, etc. I want to make it a class effort and have them working together to earn this reward!
We live in Florida, so for the majority of the school year it is blazing hot outside and we need time to cool off when we come in from the playground. One of the ways I’m going to help facilitate our ‘cool down, calm down’ time is by playing one of GoNoodle’s calming brain breaks. One of my absolute favorites is from Koo Koo Kanga Roo, called Chillax. Another favorite of mine is Airtime. My students are already begging to do more “bubble breathing” (that’s what we call it!) so they can see where our next stop is.

    My students LOVE "pop see ko 2.0"!! And considering they're deaf and can't even hear the music that's saying something. And I'm in love with the fact that GoNoodle has added captions!! 🙂

Hanukkah presents from last week for my girl's pre Hanukkah presents from last week for my girl's preschool teachers!! Really loving how my tags turned out! 🤩

Giving teachers presents as a teacher mom was such a new and interesting experience. I really wanted it to be perfect and for them to love it all - but I know it's truly the thought that counts and they'd appreciate that.

She ran into school swinging the gift bags so who knows what it all looked like once they opened it anyways 😅
It's almost December which means... a NEW READING It's almost December which means... a NEW READING LOG!!!

My students and parents seriously loved these! It holds the students accountable for reading, but in a fun way!

I built in different incentives for them to fill them out each month's log and it always worked. Quite possibly my favorite resource!
