Learn to Move, Move to Learn!!

8th Grade had a great day outside to finish up flag football :) Nursery 2 has been practicing "tracking" with their eyes.  Nursery 3 students have advanced to station rotation!! In the past the students have had specific equipment put out and they could move around to each station as they chose. Now, two friends are assigned a station to work at for a period of time and then move to the next. This allows children to interact with different friend each class and ensures that they work on each skill.

5th Gr playing "Blitz" flag games Hey parents, give this one a try! Balance activities are getting more difficult!!!!  Experimenting on scooters Air Hockey players have graduated to "Hand Tennis"  We use our heads in P.E too!!

Balance - Auditory - Visual - Exercise = Bal-A-Vis-X Started by Bill Hubert of Kansas City, who is now teaching clinics all over the country and in many foreign countries as well. It involves over 300 exercises with bean bags and racket balls that develop focus, concentration, coordination, rhythm, listening skills and team work among many other things. Ms. Brown has been working with the middle school to learn    Bal -A - Vis  - X patterns and now Ms. Brown and I will work together to have the middle school students help teach the lower school ! This is a very exciting venture and I am thrilled to be working collaboratively with Ms. Brown to help our students. Please watch the videos below and see the concentration that develops almost immediately. Visual Tracking and Hand Eye Coordination Get those abs working! Everyone's favorite arcade game......
