Stretch & Dance with the Atoms on a Brain Break

Thursday, September 23rd, 2021—Mental breaks have shown incredible benefits not only for adults but for children, as well. Experts have said, it is important to take a break from your screen or computer every hour, for a few minutes to not only adjust your posture, but also enabling you to improve your focus, concentration and attention span. 

At Syracuse Academy of Science and Citizenship elementary school, the Kindergarten students shared with us their mini ‘Brain Break’ stretching and dancing session. This technique is used often throughout the grades at SASCCS, as it helps the student regain focus, and improves concentration skills. Brain Breaks can consist of dancing, stretching or even reading quietly. Come on and click here to join the Atoms for a mini Brain Break session!
