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!! πŸ™‚

It's March, so does that mean it's time for spring??! 🌼I'm sure lots of you live where it's cold during the winter, so maybe you are ready for spring weather. However in Florida, our "winter" quickly turns to almost summer weather very quickly. I still love the spring time though!You can get ready for spring with this fun write the room activity!➑️ bit.ly/springwritetheroom ... See MoreSee Less
