Help Students De-Stress for Success
I came across this article on Edutopia and found it very interesting. The article gives some great techniques for helping to de-stress your students. For my kiddos, we dance to Dr. Jean or if it's the afternoon, we have rest time with some quiet music to help us relax and clear our minds. I fully believe when students de-stress, they learn better. Every year I have noticed a change in my students when they come back from Christmas break. When they come back in January, it seems like everything we worked on from September-December, has finally sunk in.
I also read that article. I do remember rest time from when I taught kindergarten. I loved it because it was a good time to de-stress as a teacher!
