Help me give my students the ability to move and learn at the same time. This activity center will help my students focus and be more motivated to learn new things.
Our school is located on Florida's Gulf Coast. It is part of the Sarasota County School District and is geographically south of the city of Sarasota. Our county is proud of its arts and cultural programs and our population is economically diverse.
Our fifth grade inclusion class is comprised of exceptional education students (ESE) and general education students.
Our ESE student population includes students with a variety of exceptionalities including autism, ADD/ADHD, hearing impaired and other health impaired. Our students work hard each and every day to challenge their brains to grow and accomplish challenging tasks.
My Project
Today's young learners are mostly sedentary in school and at home. Kids need physical activity to help them learn and focus. I plan to use these materials in an activity center. The students will rotate through the center each day as part of our regular classroom routine.
Moments of physical activity and brain breaks during the school day will serve to focus and energize students to master the curricular content and stretch their thinking.
Students will enjoy the physical activity of bouncing, rolling, peddling, jumping, balancing, and sliding and will be ready to engage in challenging cognitive tasks when they return.
