Brain Break Videos and Sight Word Rings

We are continuing to study sight words in class, and I was thinking of a way to let parents know which words to practice at home. I sometimes send home notes in the form of paper bracelets around my students wrists, and this led me to try making Sight Words Rings!  Students create these sight word rings and wear them home. I've noticed them reading aloud to friends as well, and practicing when they are outside too!

Does your class do brain breaks? We use GoNoodle collections, and recently discovered Just Dance. Assign each students a spot in the classroom so they don't get too wiggly, and then just click play and watch them dance along to all of the popular songs. Here are a few to try:

Just Dance: Happy











Just Dance: Let It Go














Just Dance: Shake It Off










We also love videos from The Learning Station. They particularly love "Ram Sam Sam" by The Learning Station - click to see it!  Here we are singing along (more fun in the dark with Christmas lights.) Students simply move along with the students on the screen.
