Moving to Learn
June 20, 2019
Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them - every day begin the task anew.
-Saint Francis de Sales

In his article, “4 Things Teachers Shouldn’t Be Asking Their Students to Do,” on the edweek.org website, Justin Minkel explains how too much sitting is detrimental to students of all ages, but especially to younger children, who must move to learn.
And in the book, I’m Ok! Building Resilience Through Physical Play, author Jarrod Green writes about materials that will help young children have many opportunities for movement, both indoors and outdoors. Some of these materials include: “Big blocks, milk crates, wooden boards, rope, big cardboard boxes, logs and stumps, branches and sticks.”

Just one quick safety comment: be very careful with rope and string on the playground. They can wrap around a child's neck (i.e. on the slide) and bet very dangerous. This is why string on toys is always very short.
