As our little learners return to school, either in a classroom or at home, it is important to keep their bodies moving! Research has shown that physical movement:
π§ improves our ability to focus
π§ helps consolidate learning
π§ boosts productivity
π§ reduces feelings of being overwhelmed
This academic year, we encourage all students to engage in brief movement breaks every 60-90 minutes! This may look like:
π§π»ββοΈ Stretching or performing yoga poses
ππΌ Going for a short walk (even around the classroom or your home)
π€ΈπΌββοΈ Completing 10 jumping jacks
ππΌ Having a dance party
Your student will come back feeling rejuvenated and ready to approach their work with more energy and a fresh perspective!
Please share with us how you and your family keep moving while completing school or other work!
