After doing movement, I’m always ready to do more math.
Maia, Third Grader
I often tell teachers, do you want to fight them for 40 minutes, or do you want to do something that is good for your health, your heart, your mind, your brain, your soul for 10 minutes, and then have 40 minutes of really good learning?
Lorynda Sampson, Principal, Northridge Elementary School
Through movement, teachers are seeing better behavior, increased time on task, increased impulse control they say their students are better able to inhibit inappropriate behavior which is then leading to academic success in their classrooms.
