Movement Across the Curriculum

Amazingly, the part of the brain that processes movement is the same part of the brain that processes learning.

The Movement Across the Curriculum: 60 Minutes a Day blog is a  collection of movement activities that specifically provide physical practice and reinforcement of preschool through eighth grade standards, cognitive concepts, and or developmental concepts.  In addition, as a result of participating in the movement activities the children will accumulate a percentage of the 60 minutes of organized movement recommended by NASPE for all school aged children 3 years and up. Teachers and parents alike are welcome to check out the activities, Brain Facts and information that can be found on the blog regarding; The Brain, Moving the Body and Learning. Follow the blog to get updates with the new activities and ideas.
