B3 Padlet by Arrica DuBose https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2 Made with whimsy en-us 2020-02-26 00:55:22 UTC 2026-02-05 13:24:22 UTC hello@padlet.com What caught my attention was... eldavis2 https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/450955413 The resources are colorful, engaging, and not overly complicated. Some of them are lines of tape on the floor to make shapes. They can be simple but also fun and effective. It also caught my attention that some of them are in the hall. That probably would not have occurred to me. 

]]> 2020-02-26 18:42:32 UTC https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/450955413 What could be challenging... eldavis2 https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/450956763 I can imagine needing to figure out how to still have effective classroom management as we transition from activities I'm more accustomed to facilitating to activities where more groups of children (or all of the children) are moving around the classroom in energetic ways. I would want to make sure students stayed safe while doing these activities and that learning is continuing to happen (and that the class is not becoming total chaos at the expense of learning [that's the fear]). It also seems like this would be a little easier if I had my own classroom and was in control of my own space, and I'm sure it can still be done in the kids' classrooms. It will just require more flexibility of me.]]> 2020-02-26 18:44:11 UTC https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/450956763 What's aligned to my current strengths... eldavis2 https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/450958951 I try to make my class engaging. I do try to incorporate some movement (and some days are better than others and I could definitely incorporate more). I try to make my visuals bright, vibrant and interesting. Incorporating more movement seems fairly straightforward and it's something I love to do, myself, so that should make it not too much of a challenge to make this adjustment. ]]> 2020-02-26 18:47:06 UTC https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/450958951 What could be easily implemented... eldavis2 https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/450960925 When studying vocabulary (as we do in each unit), it would be really easy to have laminated flashcards on the floor of the classroom and have kids move around to the different vocabulary items in different ways (hopping, tip-toeing, jumping, slow-motion/moving like a sloth, moving like any specific animal [except maybe a cheetah; no running, please]). We'll also be studying animals in the last unit of the year in Spanish and I'm sure there are lots of opportunities there to come up with fun ways for kids to move around like animals/pretend they're hiding from animals, etc. Go Noodle is also a super easy resource that I know lots of teachers are already using (and I could as a reward, too).
 ]]> 2020-02-26 18:49:23 UTC https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/450960925 The thing that stood out to me the most was the video clip of students using the movement decals in the hallway. I liked how the decals incorporated literacy and math and besides just making travel more active, they could be used to facilitate active games. It was also amazing to see the kids moving quietly and under control, even though they were being given more freedom in how they moved. mbrantley5 https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/451007528 2020-02-26 19:47:50 UTC https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/451007528 These sort of active transitions and games are something I try to incorporate at school, but I use most often when I teach summer camp. These videos were a good reminder that the activities and freedom I allow in camp, also have applications to school. The sheet about attention getters and brain activities reminded me of some activities I have tried before and some new ones I’d like to try. mbrantley5 https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/451008091 2020-02-26 19:48:40 UTC https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/451008091 Some of the examples that require more physical equipment would be a challenge because of funding and the layout of my room. I think these larger gross motor tools would be beneficial, but would require lots of explicit teaching around use and expectations. mbrantley5 https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/451008346 2020-02-26 19:49:03 UTC https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/451008346 What stood out to me most in the video was when they discussed incorporating movement into instruction to help students remember what they are learning. mkleiboer https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/451008474 2020-02-26 19:49:11 UTC https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/451008474 mlroberts3 https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/451008812 I liked the joyful and constructive movement through the hallway. The use of movement to teach lessons seems like a great way for kinesthetic learners and all learners to engage and retain information. ]]> 2020-02-26 19:49:44 UTC https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/451008812 I think the resource that could be most easily implemented was the attention getter and brain activities sheet. Most of the games and greetings were simple and engaging. Even though they require some teaching and take a bit longer than a normal gonoodle, because they incorporate gross motor movements and require active participation I think they would be more beneficial for my students. I also think using tape to make simple movement floor decals could be easily implemented. mbrantley5 https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/451008865 2020-02-26 19:49:48 UTC https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/451008865 I often use movement during transitions. mkleiboer https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/451009420 2020-02-26 19:50:42 UTC https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/451009420 A challenge might be finding more ways to incorporate movement into actual instruction. mkleiboer https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/451009782 2020-02-26 19:51:14 UTC https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/451009782 mlroberts3 https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/451009824 I use movement for brain breaks and transitions.

I also think it would be challenging to get some of those movement tools. ]]> 2020-02-26 19:51:54 UTC https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/451010224 mlroberts3 https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/451011869 The resources for brain breaks are helpful to change things up.]]> 2020-02-26 19:54:24 UTC https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/451011869 What Caught My Attention... cdavidson31 https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/451046269 I found the movement transitions in the hallway very unique.  It is evident that very clear hallway expectations have set as a school for them to maintain "structured chaos"!  Great utilization of time and space, and tapping into the kinesthetic learning opportunities.]]> 2020-02-26 20:52:55 UTC https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/451046269 Resource Alignment... cdavidson31 https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/451051573 All of our students, regardless of age, need brain breaks/physical opportunities to preform at an optimal cognitive level.

However, one of the benefits of our open campus is that we all have spacious areas near our classrooms, though they may be outdoors. ]]> 2020-02-26 21:03:27 UTC https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/451052551 Easy Implementation... cdavidson31 https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/451053693 They provided a lot of fantastic kinesthetic learning opportunities, but as a whole, there is not an "easy implementation" per-say. It may be low prep idea for teachers (IE: vocab flashcards on the floor), but expectations would need to be front-loaded and frequently reviewed. Also, the expectations would need to be consistently enforced throughout the school.]]> 2020-02-26 21:05:41 UTC https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/451053693 Attention Getting https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/451057039 What caught my attention most was the academic connections with movement in the hallway.

As I went through many of them, I was struck by how movement plays a big part in brain development and academic achievement, just like movement helps children who have been exposed to trauma and adverse experiences. In most of these students, movement helps them calm down and get back in control of their emotions so that they can access the cognitive learning part of their brain. I loved the B3 Labs and classrooms that offered students items to touch, sensory items to feel, opportunities to hop and jump, crossover exercises that stimulates both sides of the brain. Allowing for opportunities for children to move periodically in school throughout the day, provides active engagement in academic learning as opposed to passive learning. Movement seems to unlock the door to taking in information and performing academically.]]> 2020-03-02 21:01:37 UTC https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/453263739 Linda Williford lwilliford2 https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/453275303 Since I'm usually called upon to help students calm down and learn better social skills such as how to better interact with others, I was drawn to the resources around Mindfulness and playing board games. I really liked the mindfulness breathing and touching exercises that teach students how to calm themselves down. Knowing how to understand one's own emotions and how to control them with movement and breathing is empowering for all students and helps in most social settings in the classroom. Positive flowing energy and movement opens the brain to taking risks and learning. Playing board games and learning how to play successfully with others is also very empowering for students and it reinforces positive behavior in the classroom.]]> 2020-03-02 21:26:33 UTC https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/453275303 Linda Williford lwilliford2 https://padlet.com/arrica_dubose1/6xxoyg7zmvl2/wish/453283652 An area of challenge for me would be setting up "movement active hallways" and B3 Labs.
