This is my class working on a Brain Break from Whole Brain Reading. Throughout the day I would break and give them one minute to work on sight words or math facts. The goal was for the partner groups to read or say the facts as fast as they could trying to beat their previous score. The kids love it and their reading and math aromaticity improved dramatically! As you can see from the video they are ALL engaged. In fact not one student noticed me tapping. I put the timer on my Smartboard and for one minute they read or shout out facts. I partnered a high with a low and took personalities into consideration. I would break anywhere from 3 to 6 times a day. Usually when they were getting squirmy or not paying attention or for a transition. I have had several evaluators marvel at how engaged and how fast my students move from one lesson to the next.
