  Case: Sleeping in Class
Mrs. Will has noticed that some of her students are falling asleep in class which leads them to not grasping the content of the lesson and scoring lower on tests. What can Mrs. Will do to keep these students awake and ensure that they've learned the lessons?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Keeping the students active and engaged as much as you can throughout the day is key! I have discovered that "brain breaks" are a way to help my kids wake up and get refreshed. Let's face it, school days can be long days sometimes and we all have those days where we could just fall asleep. However, I discovered a website called GoNoodle (www.gonoodle.com). My kids love it! There are many different brain break activities and the class earns points each time they participate. This has kept a lot of my "sleepy" students awake!

Comments: Love the idea of brain breaks! I once volunteered in a third grade class that did these after long assignments or when the teacher noticed that her students were beginning to get burnt out. They were a lot of fun and I believe 100% that they helped the students regain focus and wake up a little bit!
