Brain breaks are essential for children to reduce stress and frustration and increase attention and productivity. Studies show that taking regular brain breaks can improve on-task behavior, and academic performance. Brain breaks can also provide opportunities for students to develop creativity and social skills. There is a need right now for students to have a place to connect with other students in a meaningful way, and practice conversational or story telling skills. Children need a creative outlet to reset and prepare their minds for the tasks and demands ahead of them. This class allows students to practice some of these skills in a relaxed environment, while sharing laughs and giggles together. After introductions, I will spend a few minutes sharing funny jokes, riddles and stories to set the mood. Then we will spend about 15 minutes allowing each student to share humorous jokes and riddles they have prepared for the class. Students should practice their clean, family friendly jokes prior to class so they are prepared to deliver their best jokes. Only "school-appropriate," non-offensive jokes will be allowed in class, so please help students screen them before sharing. Come enjoy a brain break, and be prepared to leave with funny, new material to share with your family and friends. You won’t even realize you are practicing your public speaking, story telling, and listening skills! : )P This class is suitable to become an ongoing class with student interest. ***This class needs a minimum of 2 students to run.
Learning Goals
Students will prepare and present humorous jokes and stories to the group, while resetting and re-energizing their brains for the tasks ahead.Other Details
Supply List
Come prepared with a few appropriate jokes or riddles, or even a funny story, to share with the class. Practice at home before class so you can deliver your best to the group and make others laugh.

I am Kelley Pope. Your learners can call me Ms. Kelley. I have a Masters Degree in Education from the University of South Florida, with specializations in general elementary education and exceptional student education. I have been teaching and working with children for 3 decades. I have experience teaching children from pre-school to 12th grade, of varying abilities. I spent the majority of my time in the classroom teaching second and third grade. I have been teaching English online to non-English speakers since 2017, and I am skilled in effective, virtual learning strategies.
Teaching has been my life long passion. I'm an enthusiastic teacher and hope to inspire my students to limitless learning in a positive environment! My interactive classes are engaging, meaningful, and fun. I use multiple strategies to reach and engage different types of learners, making them comfortable and confident in their surroundings to learn and share with ease. I teach through an assortment of oral instruction, demonstrations, slides, activities, games, modeling, discussion, and hands on experiences, ensuring students have every opportunity for engagement and learning. I want each of my students to come away from our classes feeling confident and inspired.
Many of my students greatly benefit from one on one learning to help grow them into confident, happy writers.
**Please contact me about private tutoring, or about scheduling class times you do not see listed.**
A little about me... I am a mom, wife, and teacher. I am a huge animal lover, and have several pets of my own. When I am not teaching, I love to spend time with my family outdoors biking, hiking, enjoying the beach or Disney, and exploring new adventures. Movies and game nights are also family favorites! I have a fondness for reading writing, and crafts, as well. I love meeting new students, connecting with others, and sharing the joy of learning.
I look forward to seeing you in my classroom soon. We are going to have a blast!
