I love, love, love it! I will read these suggestions over again and recommend to others. Thank you and God bless you!

They loved it and I'd run with them (or behind them). I found them to be tired and much more relaxed for the rest of the morning. The brain research about movement and cognitive activity supports this. I'm a believer in getting kids moving. It's good for teachers too. :)Tom Wierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11432633467989521909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4185935748204013857.post-32641786357223304612012-07-17T16:58:57.896-04:002012-07-17T16:58:57.896-04:00As former teacher of "twice exceptionals"...As former teacher of "twice exceptionals" I spent three years with classrooms full of "that kids". Before that I'd always had at least a handful each year. By the time they came to me in Middle school they were often pretty emotionally beat up - and YES by teachers, fellow students and parents alike. It was so refreshing to read your much more positive take, I have included a link at the bottom of my article about teaching "wiggle worms" aka ADHD kids as well as those who aren't really ADHD but still need to move. Please check it out (http://pinchxeverything.blogspot.com/2012/05/teaching-wiggle-worms.html#!/2012/05/teaching-wiggle-worms.html). <br /><br />I'll definitely be visiting this blog again!Balance is Besthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00386348799317652132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4185935748204013857.post-10341337349882996062012-07-17T15:23:49.106-04:002012-07-17T15:23:49.106-04:00What a wonderful post.

About 5 years ago, I learned about Conscious Discipline. It is the most amazing and powerful thing I have EVER learned. It is all about building your school family. It is creating those connection between everyone in a safe learning environment. One of Our School Family jobs is the Greeter. We also have the job of the Encourager and Cheerleader. I would love for you to come read more about it on my blog.<br /><br />I am happy to be your newest follower.<br /><br />Thank you for this inspirational post. =)<br /><br />Blessings,<br /><br />Heather<br /><i><b><a href="http://heathersfirstgradeheart.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Heather's Heart</a></b></i>Heather's Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03275285984118559108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4185935748204013857.post-83897271489632406502012-07-10T17:02:49.496-04:002012-07-10T17:02:49.496-04:00Wow... great advice.

I hope more people read your post because what you said is so important to helping those struggling kiddos. "That kid" in my classroom last year will always be special to me. Although he REALLY took some warming up, he and I had a great relationship. :)<br /><br />We are giving you the Versatile Bloggers award.

If I'm honest, when I think back to the students who I feel most proud about helping, they are usually "that kid" that no one knew what to do with. Thanks for writing such an inspirational post with some great tips. Even teachers who consistently work hard with "that kid" will benefit from reading the list when they are extra-frazzled in a few months. :) -Stacey <br />shootforthem00n.blogspot.comStacey Mundo, ISTC Achievement Coachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10584184624943200322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4185935748204013857.post-88473201509674779322012-07-07T13:10:30.598-04:002012-07-07T13:10:30.598-04:00This are some wonderful tips!
