I teach a class of 25 rowdy 8 year old kids. I am a firm believer in the fact that they need a break. I have been stopping and doing a Just Dance break after lunch, but I always feel like I have to sneak around and hope to not get caught. Am I wrong for wanting my students to have a break? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) No, I do not think you are wrong in any way for wanting your students to have a break. Students need a break from work every so often. It will help them stay focused and engaged in the lesson. Especially with 25 - 8 year olds, they need a break.
