My Take
Although it is not necessarily a Common Core teaching tool that teaches content, it does help kids get refreshed and refocused. It is great for transitions between lessons or periods, and it actually entices students to return to class on time! They hate to miss their brain break!
How I Use It
When I see low energy levels in the classroom I know that I've got to get them up out of their seats and moving if I want them to continue to stay focused. This website is perfect for a quick brain break. It it highly engaging, and it gets the wiggles out while getting the blood pumping. There are high energy brain breaks as well as calming brain breaks, depending on classroom need.

Gets students moving and gives them a quick break!
I think this is a great tool to gives students a chance to give their brains a break and have some movement. Sitting at a desk all day can be difficult for many students so GoNoodle allows them to get up and move around. When each video starts, it tells the viewer what the purpose of that video is. Students know what to expect and can follow the video. This website has videos that show different subjects so teachers can decide what video applies to the lesson they are teaching and use it to have fun with their students.
