My Project

Our project, Move to Learn, aims to transform classroom learning by incorporating sports equipment into interactive lessons. By using tools like foam balls, jump ropes, and soccer, we will create movement-based activities that help students actively engage with academic content. These materials allow us to turn abstract concepts into physical, memorable experiences, making learning more dynamic and accessible to all.

The heart of this project lies in its ability to meet the diverse learning needs of our students through kinesthetic engagement.

Many students thrive when they can move, touch, and interact during lessons rather than sit passively. Physical activities paired with academic tasks improve focus, build confidence, and encourage collaboration. These tools are more than just play—they are essential to helping students connect learning with movement in a way that supports both their bodies and their minds.

Our students are bright, creative, and full of energy. Many of them learn best through hands-on experiences, and they benefit greatly from lessons that involve movement, imagination, and teamwork. They are resilient, enthusiastic learners who are eager for opportunities that meet them where they are. This project recognizes their potential and gives them the tools to succeed in a way that values their uniqueness. By supporting Move to Learn, you’re investing in a group of learners who are ready to grow when given the chance to move, explore, and learn actively.
