My Project
I teach students in a rural city in Alabama. My school serves a diverse community of families; especially families living below poverty guidelines as well as those with disabilities and facing adverse eperiences. Our goal is to combas the effect these negative life experiences can potentially have on our families and children. My goal with this project is to allow every child in my class to meet their sensory needs while still receiving a quality start to their education. Research hpas shown that when a child’s body is involved in movement, the brain is in a higher state of arousal (Stevens-Smith, 2016a). According to Stevens-Smith (2016a), children learn best when moving because it stimulates the neurons and electrical wiring in the brain. The part of the brain that processes movements and actions is the same part of the brain that is responsible for and processes learning. This tells us that in order for these children to get the most out our programs we need to provide as many opportunities to move as possible.
