I teach on a Native American Reservation where families value tradition and ceremony very much. Unfortunately, healthy lifestyle including exercise has not been a number one priority. There is a surge in cases of ADD and ADHD among all students in our nation, as well as growing concerns about childhood obesity. The students at my school NEED to move! However, I still NEED some order in my classroom. We do use brain breaks to get up and dance and I have students do some yoga to start the day but having a safe and comfortable classroom is of the utmost importance to me. I want my students to have a place where they can forget their cares and get lost in the beauty of knowledge!
