Some days, staying positive in the classroom means embracing the chaos… and taking a wiggle break right along with them. 😂💃

Because honestly, if my third graders need to move, there’s a pretty good chance I do too. 🤣

Teacher life = teach a little, laugh a lot, and never underestimate the power of a good brain break. 🍎✏️
