| Movement is the Key to Learning |
| Author: | Anne Gilbert |
| URL: | http://www.newhorizons.org/strategies/arts/gilbert.htm |
| Summary: | This article explains how a third grade teacher used movement as a way of teaching everything. She remembered everything about her very best year in school (3rd grade) because of movement. The end of the article is quoted “Movement is the key to learning. Forty years after my own third-grade experience, I am still using movement and dance to teach people of all ages, and every single day I see some little miracle happen. Students cannot sit still for very long before the blood and oxygen flow to their brains significantly slows down, thereby slowing down the learning process. Bringing dance into your classroom will not only increase learning, but will make your classroom a healthier, happier place to learn and teach.” |

| Learning Styles- Kinestetic/Tactile-“Let Me” |
| Author: | Pamela Maxey |
| URL: | http://www.thehomeschoolmagazine.com/How_To_Homeschool/articles/articles.php?aid=287 |
| Summary: | The thing that is most interesting in this publication is how it explains ADD/ADHD pretty well. Which is something that every teacher has to deal with. It mentions about how our brain can filter a lot of information in order to make sense of our world. A child with ADD/ADHD takes in so much information that it simply can not filter it so the brain simply “shuts down” and the child stops paying attention. The article ends with a part on how it is very natural for a child to learn from kinesthetic movement. |

| craetive Movements and Dance in Early Childlife Education |
| Author: | Loeffler |
| URL: | http://www.cfc-efc.ca/docs/cccf/00013_en.htm |
| Summary: | Leoffler is challenging the young children in grade school to know and get familiar with how their body moves in creative ways. She wants them to explore their body actions to communicate an image, an idea, or an feeling. The benefits of creative movement in youth, will enhance stability and balance skills while using their locomotors and nonlocomotors skills. This program will be excellent while working with the youth and in the future when I decide to have my own children. |
