Motivate with GIFs

-
After reading and reflecting on a post shared from the blogger I am following, I decided to try posting a GIF on my Clevertouch every morning to share a positive, funny, or motivating message to connect with my students and start the day on a positive note. My kids have loved reading them and seeing the fun pictures. I know this idea has started each day with smiles on their faces. I the future I would like to allow my students to take turns selecting a GIF to share with the class to motivate and encourage their peers at school.  Here are a few GIFs I shared.

    Thanks for sharing!

These are silly videos that encourage movement, dancing and a break for students to get out of their seats. There are also different videos that share educational content like the videos featured in the Blazer Fresh category. My students' favorite is Banana Banana Meatball which teaches about patterns. The have videos about grammar, math, social studies, science and more! Another feature I love about GoNoodle ...
