After watching the videos on Attention, Emotions and Learning, describe how this information impacts you as a teacher.
I loved this lesson! Knowing how different experiences in the environment, classroom and home affect a child emotionally can help me meet the needs of my students better. If I can notice symptoms of attention problems, I can make changes to help the student learn better.
I firmly believe that exercise is so helpful in education. On days I substitute that are full of testing, I make sure we stop, stretch, jump up and down a few times, take a drink of water and then get back to work. Those two minutes are miracle workers and help the kiddos to refocus.
It's super that you take the time to have the students stretch and move a bit! This can help a lot.
