SERIES #2
PRESENTER: Mr. Tony Vincent
TOPIC: "Breaks for our Student's Brains"
There are lots of reasons to give students brain breaks. Quick pauses in learning relieve stress, reduce cognitive overload, break up monotony, and strengthen social bonds. Short mental recesses allow students to reboot so they can refocus. Let’s explore strategic intermissions that include interactive websites, satisfying videos, and zippy activities that bring about joy, connection, and curiosity.
