Have you heard about Go Noodle? It is a fantastic website for students and teachers that has over 100 games and videos that help students learn and focus. This free site allows teachers to project fun videos that incorporate movement with learning ELA and math. Have students who need to calm down and focus? Try out one of the mindfulness videos! There is something for everyone. The imaginative staff at Go Noodle have created fresh, new songs to teach concepts. Word Jam couples simple dance moves with vocabulary words. Teachers- you can even add your own vocabulary words to the video. Bones! Bones! Bones! teaches children well, the bones in your body. Pop Se Ko is a catchy tune that plays a type of Simon Says with children. My husband laughed at me the other night because he caught me singing the song. I just couldn't get it out of my head! Hey Dena! Hey What? Guess what? What? My hands are high, My feet are low, And this is how I Pop Se Ko! Pop Se Ko, Pop Pop Se Ko, Pop Se Ko, Pop Pop Se Ko! (movements done with the chorus) As a reading intervention teacher I am interested in websites that help with reading skills. Not only do I use Word Jam, but I also use the mindfulness videos. If I use them before asking students to read, then oral reading fluency skills rose. This has been a breakthrough moment for my students who are VERY anxious about reading! Have I mentioned that Go Noodle is free? That is perfect for my budget. Head on over to www.gonoodle.com check out the awsomesauce videos. Tell Bart Reynolds (pictured above) that I said hi!
