I'm sitting here watching the annual 4th of July Boston Pops Concert and swelling with pride for my country.
It seems these concerts just keep getting better and better! Back in the old days, we used to drive down to Boston, spend all day saving our spots on the Esplanade, then watch the concert live. The traffic and crowds never bothered us, it was always worth it!
Nowadays I sit in my living room and watch it on TV. It's not quite as exciting as watching it live, but it sure is more convenient!
In honor of the holiday, I've created some brain breaks with a patriotic theme.
Research tells us that moving aides learning by bringing oxygen to the brain! I do love to include anything
the kids are learning as brain breaks. I usually manage to include seasonal or
holiday brain breaks when I can. These Patriotic
Brain Breaks can be used for any Patriotic holiday: Constitution Day, Veterans
Day, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, or Independence
Day!

I like these ideas for Brain Breaks. Our first graders have a social studies unit about Patriotic Symbols and these would fit right in.
