Kinesthetic Classroom
11:05 AM
I read a LinkedIn article about the first Kidsfit Kinesthetic Classroom in Charleston, SC.
From the article:
"Twenty eight fifth-graders sit at the specially outfitted kinesthetic desks. Some of them pedal bikes, some march on climbers, some swivel, some stand at their desks and sway back and forth. But almost everyone in the class is moving all day long – even the teacher. Stacey Shoecraft is stationed at the front of the room in a full-size strider, delivering instruction and lesson plans while exercising almost from the morning until the afternoon bells.” Thoughts? How do you think your own children would respond to this change in their classroom?
