I took Mary Ann Reilly’s advice to get dancing today. I did so with an unlikely song, and a song that I never even knew existed. (It has almost a billion views!)
When I read Mary Ann’s blog post a couple days ago, I was reminded of my sweet kindergarten students. I had spent 1.5 years with them, singing and dancing daily. Lately, though, I have not been dancing. Maybe it’s because I haven’t figured out how to dance with grade 5 students.
Yesterday, when my kindergarten teacher colleague posted this song on her Facebook feed, telling how her students had gone crazy with it, I couldn’t help but try it out. I didn’t just listen to it, though. I did what Mary Ann suggested at the end of her post:
So are you ready to dance a little? Dance like you were 5? I won’t tell:)
Give it a try! It does have a great beat. I wonder if my fifth graders will like it!
Yahoo! A dance-a-thon is happening. It felt good. I need to dance today. Thanks for the reminder.
Thanks for stopping by, Mary Ann. It is a good reminder for me too, as today is another day! Another dance needed!!
I think my 7th graders know this song!! Go for it! 😉
Yes, I need to do that, to be sure! We have spring fever.
My third graders love to dance along with GoNoodle- if you have not tried it do! It is free to sign up and it is perfect for brain and body breaks. I’ll bet my kids know that song too- it is funny how some things like that travel the world.
I have not checked out Go Noodle this year. I forgot about it. Brain breaks definitely needed! Thanks for the reminder, Erika.
