Movement Breaks

As our little learners return to school, either in a classroom or at home, it is important to keep their bodies moving! Research has shown that physical movement:
🧠 improves our ability to focus
🧠 helps consolidate learning
🧠 boosts productivity
🧠 reduces feelings of being overwhelmed

This academic year, we encourage all students to engage in brief movement breaks every 60-90 minutes! This may look like:
πŸ§˜πŸ»β€β™€οΈ Stretching or performing yoga poses
πŸƒπŸΌ Going for a short walk (even around the classroom or your home)
πŸ€ΈπŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ Completing 10 jumping jacks
πŸ’ƒπŸΌ Having a dance party

Your student will come back feeling rejuvenated and ready to approach their work with more energy and a fresh perspective!

Please share with us how you and your family keep moving while completing school or other work!
