Moving & Learning

Funded Mar 30, 2017

This project has given students voice, choice, and movement to best meets their needs throughout the day. It has made them think about their thinking, and how and where they perform at their best.

The pedal exercisers arrived first and the students were beyond excited to pedal and move as they worked at their tables. The morning the students arrived to school and entered the room with the Wobble chairs and exercise balls, you would have thought it was Christmas. Children were jumping up and down and hugging each other!

This experience also gave the classroom the opportunity to decide how we would choose who got to use what equipment and when. We established rules and consequences for when using the items. The students brainstormed together and came up with fair and reasonable expectations that were agreed upon by all. I was proud to see them work together to solve a real world concern.

I can't thank you enough for giving these students the opportunity to move while learning. It is also wonderful that very soon twenty-five new students will also benefit from your donation. It truly is the gift that will keep on giving.”

With gratitude,
