Brain and Body Time

Have you ever just wanted children to get their wiggles out long enough so you could teach them their ABC’s and 123’s?  Who says you can’t do both at the same time?  During this session, participants will explore how to enhance learning using kinesthetic strategies.  Based on brain research, participants will also discover the importance of incorporating such movements into everyday classroom activities as a way to maximize the brain.
