The kid in the back of the classroom is wiggling. The girl next to the window continues to tap her pencil. The boy right in front of you looks like he is half asleep and all you want to do is get through teaching your habitats lesson! What can you do about this? How about giving the kids the opportunity to move to get there brains ready to learn again? I’ve got the perfect way for you to do this. The best part of it all is that you can still capture a part of your lesson by letting the kids move! Try yoga with Wetland theme! Heck you could do yoga with an ocean, desert, woodland, arctic or rainforest theme too!
