My Project

As an Army Veteran, I am honored to teach the next generation by incorporating movement into their classroom learning. Their strong minds and bodies will prepare them to be future leaders.

My students will use the four exercise bikes with attached desktops at STEM learning stations.

Kinesthetic learning encourages physical activity,

bolsters cognitive, social, and emotional development, enhances the brain’s capacity to retain information, and develops not just one’s individual capacities and strengths, but also one’s self-confidence in those capacities.

Movement can have many purposes within the classroom, which correlate to the benefits noted above. Movement prepares the brain for learning while simultaneously offering brain breaks during times of high stress toward academic performance. Structured movement can also increase class cohesion while strengthening students’ individual physical fitness, relationships, and rigor.
