Physical Activity Participation

Students at Cameron Elementary take a few minutes throughout the day to take a break and exercise. These brain breaks give children a chance to exercise and release energy to help them focus better on their academics. We have found the brain break to be extremely successful. Students are focused and performing better in class. GoNoodle has been one our our favorite ways to brain break!

How did students and adults work together as a team?

Students and adults worked together as a team to successfully implement brain breaks in the classroom.

What improvements have you seen at your school?

I have seen improvements with our students' energy levels in school. The brain breaks have given students an opportunity to release some energy throughout the day to make them more successful academically.

How do you plan to make this Play last during the school year and beyond?

I plan to continue to work with students and classroom teachers to continue daily brain breaks. Collaborate and give new ideas to help keep brain breaks successful.
