keep on moving- first post

Hello! My name is Laura and I am new to the blogging world. I am a Physical Education major in the MATCP -Physical Education program. I found through my years of schooling that the main point my teachers have always brought up is to keep the kids moving, thus the name of my blog.

I've always been an active person, I don't like sitting around doing nothing. If that ever happened in my physical education class when I was younger, I was so bored, but luckily teachers have found a way around this sitting while others are playing. We've even developed ways to keep students moving in a classroom with kinesthetic classrooms. This is something that I am actually doing an independent study on with one of my teachers, and I am very excited to do so. I am working on creating an layout for a kinesthetic classroom and hopefully me and my teacher can obtain a grant to actually be able to build it. Exciting stuff, I know!  I feel that kinesthetic classroom will be beneficial to all students. It will keep them moving and there are so many options for kinesthetic furniture. So they wouldn't have to be just pedaling. they could use a kneel and spin or a strider. All these things allow the student to be active in class.

This link here shows the different classroom furniture you can get for your classroom

I don't want to blab on too much more, but I am excited to share my experiences with you!
