I was excited to come across this article on Brain Gym. This is a great tool for ANY classroom and ALL students. This is easily modified in any classroom setting to use according to your students (and your) needs. I often use these techniques during EOG administration, especially during breaks. The kids love it! Of course the program is much more beneficial when used on a regular, long-term basis. I was trained in this when teaching in Buncombe County, and I still have a folder of info and resources that I will be happy to share with anyone interested.
