A unique perspective from teachers using brain gym, rhythmic ball bouncing, exercise/therapy balls, character education and techniques that promote academic success through movement. Teach the brain how it is built or we are doomed to fail, that is the focus of this session. The pay off includes self-confident, caring, successful, skilled learners and excited teachers. |
