Help me give my students Cones, Flex Space balance ball seat, sports balls, floor spots, floor tape, and scarves for Physical therapy. I want to ensure that every student has the opportunity to learn to move!!
This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
As you journey into our classrooms and therapy rooms you will see a diverse body of curious, determine, and bright-eyed kindergarten through third-grade students. Our students have a range of difficulties in accessing their academic environment due to developmental disability and movement disorders. Students need to Learn to Move and move to learn. Physical therapy/ physical movement and the brain-body connection has an astonishing positive effect on learning. Our collaborative learning environment is building dreams right in the middle of Crown Heights Brooklyn. In our partnership with parents through blending learning classrooms, our students are learning that they are excellent, and they can do and accomplish anything that they are courageous and strong enough to soar! You will find them learning how to walk safely in the hallways, climb multiply flights of stairs, navigating obstacles, and playing cooperatively with their peers.
My Project
Students need to Learn to Move and move to learn. Physical therapy/ physical movement and the brain-body connection has an astonishing positive effect on learning. Each student will receive a care package of equipment to help them learn to move.
Students need to physically move about every 15 minutes in order to learned information to be better retained.
The students will learn simple fun activities that use the balls to bounce pass to cross the midline. The agility cones will be used to create an obstacle course to facilitate balance and coordination at various walking speeds. The balance ball seats will allow the students to sit with adequate core stability to focus on blended learning activities. The Physical therapist and classroom teachers collaborate to create fun brain break activities during blended learning. Students and parents will become collaborative partners in creating brain breaks to be incorporated into their daily routines.
