Mary Kay Kleist from Channel 2 News Chicago did a story on Naperville Central High School's"Morning Exercise Gets Kids' Brains Fired Up for Class" It is a great 3 minute story detailing the program that Naperville Central Offers. When students get their heart rate up before their math and English classes their scores are higher. The story discusses Moving and Learning. It also discusses using Brain Breaks in the middle of class. Check out the short video. http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2011/08/24/morning-exercise-gets-kids-brains-fired-up-for-class/
Our students should have a kinesthetic brain break every 25-30 minutes. Brain breaks are refreshing to students and teachers alike. They do take some time out of class, but the efficiency of our students goes up when we incorporate them. Please comment if you have variations on a particular brain break.
