Every child has the need to move. A child is a natural ball of energy. Students in our district get 30 minutes of physical education each week. Recess times never seem long enough and, during the cold winter months, gross motor time is even more scarce. Sadly, many students do not get much physical activity outside of the school day either. Students sit for extended periods of time and, despite brain breaks in the classroom, some students need more ways to appropriately release energy. All students are unique and come to school with their own stories. The world and life around them can cause the child to experience anxiety and stress. This anxiety and stress can carry over to the classroom in the form of behavioral concerns, anxious behaviors, or restlessness. A physical movement distraction can be just what a child needs to help ease anxiety, avoid a meltdown, or get their brain recharged to maximize their learning. I am requesting equipment that can be used in the creation of a sensory or movement area in our school. This will be a place that students can visit when they need a break. The desk cycles can also be used during our small group times, giving the students a little movement during their reading or math instruction. Thank you for support in making a movement area at our school!
