GoNoodle Blogger Blitz

I'm really excited to be linking up with GoNoodle for their Back to School Blogger Blitz! If you're looking to spice up your GoNoodle game, this is the place for you! Tons of fabulous bloggers are sharing how they use GoNoodle in their own classrooms, so get your GoNoodlin' shoes on and be sure to check it out!

I start out the year by explaining to my students that while GoNoodle is a lot of fun, we also do it to wake up our brains before learning. Over the summer, I took a grad class about movement in the classroom, and while I have always loved GoNoodle, I learned how truly valuable it is for the brain development amidst our busy schedule and demands placed on ourselves and our students. You can read more about the importance of movement here.

As we all know, the classroom dynamic changes based on the students we have. I had a very high energy class last year, so they needed lots of high energy brain breaks from KooKoo Kangaroo to Run Like the Kitty! This year, however, my students are a little more laid back and have also enjoyed some of the calming brain breaks. I need to be more mindful of this when making the selections. This group is really enjoying Maximo's yoga, so I am going to try and introduce more of these exercises to them.

I also love how GoNoodle is an instant incentive for my kids. They love it so much and never want to miss an opportunity to participate in the brain break! This has come in really handy at the beginning of the year. Since we're only 8 days into our school year, we are still using the bathroom together as a group. However, they know that after the bathroom break we do a GoNoodle. Because of this, they are spending less time in the bathroom, and we are getting through the line a lot faster! Additionally, I love using it as a surprise for good behavior! If my kiddos are doing exceptionally well, or one of my friends is having a really good day, we will celebrate with a GoNoodle brain break of their choice!

I also love incorporating GoNoodle into our regular learning of the content standards. You read two posts regarding how I do that here and here!
