Many of my students struggle with understanding how to move their bodies throughout the environment around them. They also have a hard time expressing themselves and active play helps improve their expressions. Learning how to throw and catch a ball can teach a child how a particular movement pattern affects us or how we can change the movement pattern. This contributes to our kinesthetic awareness. All of these things help us perform what is a simple task to some. I strive to provide students with experiences to increase the likelihood of their success by developing their sensory and motor systems to their fullest. We will have a Motor Lab that my students use 20-30 minutes a day. By spending this small amount of time working on developing mature fine and gross motor movements, we should see more success and attention during classroom instruction. The balance beam will help the children see how they can control their body and make it move how they want. The sensory materials and textured balls will give my kids the sensory sensations they are looking for when they are fidgeting in the classroom or chewing on their shirt. Allowing kids to get the sensory input they need and learn how to control what they are doing by 20 minutes of activities focused on this will result in more attention during instruction. Give children time to grow, develop and learn about their bodies. Doing so will build a mature foundation of skills to better perform academic skills. The addition of activity equipment will be such an asset to all our PreK kids.
