MOVING IN THE CLASSROOM MAKES ME SMARTER!!!
 
The Brain Boosts for the Classroom- 32 Movement Cards packet is a fun and active set of task cards that teachers can use for to get students MOVING their bodies during those times that they need to be physically active in the classroom. Have you ever noticed your students getting the "Hum Drums"? Do they get fidgety or lose concentration at certain times of the day? Do they look at you like..... "hey Teach, can we get up and move a little"!!!
 
Did you know that physical activity can increase student performance? Movement is not only good for the heart and muscles, but it also helps our brains. Several studies have shown that it is very important that children "move" throughout the day to help them stay "sharp" and ready to learn!
