Is it from the old 60s or 70s show? <br /><br />I use movement with our vocabulary words - each word has an action that goes with it. My ESL kids seem to do a better job of remembering the actions than I do! <br />SaraSara at schoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03826113370064170051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605926763598675958.post-23841376900518463442013-07-21T22:01:41.937-07:002013-07-21T22:01:41.937-07:00I for sure will be.

When we teach the sounds we use little hand movements, and for some kiddos it is exactly what they need to start putting those letters and sounds together. I also started using yoga in the classroom this year-had a chart with the letters. I had a student who couldn't name the "d", but could do the move for it-starting to make those connections.<br /><br /><a href="http://notjustchildsplay.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">NotJustChild'sPlay</a>Miss Trayershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994698870486768685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605926763598675958.post-72728099345327767152013-07-21T04:53:38.902-07:002013-07-21T04:53:38.902-07:00One of my favorite movement ideas is for math.

At the NCTM conference I attended they showed us how to skip count with motions along with adding/subtracting vertically and horizontally with motions! Loved that idea and will be adding it into my classroom this year. I do believe motions help kiddos make meaning and memory of the concept.Leigh Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16497940040925046476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605926763598675958.post-76394766078972537032013-07-20T08:46:21.822-07:002013-07-20T08:46:21.822-07:00Moving, singing, eating...They all help learning s...Moving, singing, eating...They all help learning stick!
