Physical Learners

Hi! I’m a PHYSICAL Learner!

I am a mover and a toucher.
I know the world through my muscles.
I enjoy building models, sewing, and learning sign language.
I know when to slide in baseball.
I handle objects easily and like to make things.
“Let me do it!” is my motto.

We have a variety of learning styles in our classrooms, but we often teach to the learning style we enjoy. Let me challenge you to think about the physical learners in your class. This means you will provide activities for all kids to move and stretch large muscle groups and use gross motor skills. There needs to be more moving and less sitting at a table or in a group for an hour or more. Today, I want to share with you several ideas you can use in your classroom this week. Let me know how it goes.
