A few things... ✤ Learning Mission: discuss HOW to create a Kinesthetic classroom with brain blasts ✤ Participate, it helps you OWN it! ✤ Questions? Put on a post it note, give it to me, & I will answer.
What brought me to YOU! Special accommodations led me to have an epiphany! One child with special needs made an impact on the rest of the class. Everyone else liked the movement too.
"I need to Just as Cassie showed cross my mid-line!" us the importance of movement, we do the same purposeful movements throughout the day. Kids of ALL ages need to move. 01
It all started with a "brain blast". ✤ Math Madness game to reinforce math skills ✤ Start with a warmup to get them motivated ✤ How game is played 01
My Initial Vision Open House 2012 I asked for parents to donate their old equipment. Little did I know... 01
This is what I saw in the showroom. I wanted this but didn't know how to come up with the money.
A Student's Perspective
Out of the mouths of babes: When a student wrote a blog, it got the attention of others. Hmmm,...
Business Lunches: The letter writing process begins!
We kept writing letters and danced to learn! AWESOME RAINBOWS!
"The Egg of Calmness"
Where did we get the money? ✤ Student letters to local companies and hospitals ✤ I wrote several grants ✤ Donations from friends ✤ Student sold toys on eBay to donate money ✤ PTO assistance ✤ Generous support from admin 01
Who does this benefit? ✤ Behavior ✤ ADHD/ADD ✤ Gifted ✤ Resource ✤ Remember: movement doesn't inhibit learning, we utilize movement to our/their benefit
Yeah, but do you have results? Still a work in progress with CofC but...one student went up 69 points and another 70!
Three Questions: How much time? What about during testing? Do YOU need a stretch?
Options in the classroom: ✤ Walk and Talk ✤ YouTube ✤ GoNoodle ✤ Pintrest/Teachers Pay Teachers ✤ Discs/stretch bands ✤ Kinesthetic tables ✤ Yoga balls 01
Soon we started to get attention. Cool School Report
Now the next group of kids comes along... We realize it isn't just our classroom but the school, the district, and the nation!
Here is their video to share with corporate sponsors. Education is the key to helping people understand WHY movement is important. http://www.schooltube.com/video/a076effb0a4a4d419ac3/ABL%20highdef
