Educators today have faced numerous challenges as the umbrella of No Child Left Behind impacts the classroom environment and learning climate. What once may have been an experiential classroom, today has become much more specific in its delivery of the curriculum that will enable students to test well. We have created a classroom in which we may be educating students just from the “neck up.” With this approach, we miss providing a foundation for learning for the whole child.
Numerous studies and research have indicated how movement and learning are connected and that children succeed when the body is activated in the educational process. Gross Motor Fun will provide you with the tools and techniques to not only engage children with the concepts of the three Rs but also address the development of children’s self-image and motoric abilities (gross and fine).
The games and activities presented in Gross Motor Fun are designed to improve each student’s classroom performance and academic skills, as well as improve overall health and fitness, increase motor skill development, and enhance self-esteem and self-confidence, thereby enriching the psychological well-being of each student. Gross Motor Fun will inspire teachers, parents, and paraprofessionals to schedule daily movement activities.
