Challenge

Your challenge for this episode is to try one brain break with your students on a day. Have another day at the same time where you don't use a brain break. Then, reflect in your learning journal or on a blog post how the two days compare. (And be sure to tweet me if you do and let me know how it goes.) I'm in too! Are you?
