The brain break for my classes today was a 50 yard dash. Between the first set of interviews and the flip flop to the second, I took the kids right out front, lined them up, paced off 50 yards, and let them run. The brain break is always optional-- and I said so today to the students in Crocs and the other in ankle-high boots. "You don't have to run," I advised them, but the Croc-wearing kids secured their back straps and took a starting position and the girl in boots kicked them off to run in her socks. And when they had sprinted the distance, they just lined up again so they could run back.
5 minutes after we had left, we were back in the classroom, and the writers were rocking those interviews.
Life Lesson: Kids just need to run sometimes!
