In today's classroom, students often spend lengthy time periods sitting in seats with little purposeful movement. This has a tendency to make brain slow down, causing the students to lose out on important learning. Additionally, many kids get agitated when sitting long periods without the opportunity to burn off energy. This is especially important for those students diagnosed with ADD/ADHD. Students need purposeful movement to help them make academic gains.
My students are going to experience how jumping rope (and other physical activities) outside the classroom will help them focus inside the classroom. Providing sufficient equipment for all the students will give each one the opportunity to be active. Not only will this aide the students academically, it will also provide physical health benefits.
