Penguins at the Zoo My impulse is fed by an irrepressible necessity to get away from the beige and brick-depressing walls of a hotel.

Upon reflecting on this course, I have realized the importance of brain breaks. I would love to incorporate more of these into my day to day routines. When I do these, the students love them, and they are able to refocus for the rest of the lesson, or the next activity.
