Our first Week

We had a great first week back to school! I have a wonderful group of kids and parents! At the beginning of the summer I went to several workshops on Action Based Learning. My first step towards making my classroom truly action based was to replace our student chairs with stability balls. Needless to say this took some adjustment on my part when going over classroom expectations the first few days! 'Ball Etiquette' was one of the first lessons we had on Tuesday! I think once the novelty wears off we won't even notice the difference. One of the reasons I started this blog was to hopefully get some other ideas about incorporating movement throughout my day. I have always done 'brain breaks' but I want more movement when teaching all subjects.
