Student Leadership

Students in a leadership role will assist the classroom teacher in leading a ten minute exercise break by either doing exercises or Go Noodle brain breaks.

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

This activity will help when students become tired after about 45 minutes of lessons. The students in the leadership capacity will let the teacher know that they need a brain break or as a reminder for the teacher. The students help to lead the exercise or use the Go Noodle for the exercises.

How did students and adults work together as a team?

The students and teacher work to ensure that the break is done throughout the day.

What improvements have you seen at your school?

Students are ready for more learning and are not as tired as before the break.
