Engage With Kinesthetic Learning

Help me give my students wobbly chair feet, sensory boards and other tools to incorporate kinesthetic learning!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Smith's classroom raised $506

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students need opportunities to move their bodies while engaged in learning. With wobble feet for their chairs and balance boards at standing desks, they will be able to process information while doing physical activities.

Combining kinesthetic learning with auditory and visual learning will provide a multi-sensory experience to help with focus and memory.

In addition to adapted seating options that allow for movement, the materials in this project will help me create letter and number games that will involve jumping, clapping and other movement activities. We will be learning through play!
