Healthy habits can help set your kiddos up for success whether inside or outside the classroom! With back-to-school season in full swing, it’s important to create routines that are easy to maintain throughout the entire school year.

Start the year off right with a few of the following tips below brought to you by GoNoodle and our partner, Peanuts!

Breathe, Exhale, Learn

Kickoff the new year with a few quick lessons that your classroom can practice anytime during the day.

• Take Care with Peanuts: Start with a Clean Slate: A new school year can be scary, but thinking about what can go wrong often just makes it worse. Thanks to advice from her big brother, Sally tries to look at things with a fresh perspective.
• Take Care with Peanuts: Learning is Everywhere: Teach your kids that learning is everywhere and if they run away from it, they might miss out on all the fun! Join Sally as she learns this valuable lesson.
• Take Care with Peanuts: Just Breathe: Charlie Brown realizes that when you practice self-care, you don't have to get everything perfect— you just need to be kind to yourself and breathe.

Make New Friends

Are your kids nervous that their BFF isn’t in their class this year or disappointed because last year's friend group is split among a few different teachers? Turn that frown upside down as you inspire them to make new friends!

• Take Care With Peanuts: Friends, Big and Small: Join Sally as she asks Charlie Brown about how he takes responsibility for taking care of his unique pet, Snoopy.
• Classroom Ice Breakers: Use this introductory pack of icebreakers to help your students get to know each other and build community as you get back into the classroom!
