Part of the equation to staying healthy is getting that heart rate up through exercise or physical activities.

Star Corbin and Mandi Rivers
Angus Valley Elementary-"Pedal Pushers"

This project will allow the students to have the opportunity to move throughout the day while still participating in the daily classroom activities. The students are taught about the importance of getting daily exercise, but some days when the weather is bad they are not allowed to go outside and get that exercise. This will show them that they do not have to be an athlete to stay healthy. Part of the equation to staying healthy is getting that heart rate up through exercise.

Nora Froeschle
Clyde Boyd Middle School-"Real Books, Real Power"

Getting kids to read for pleasure might just determine where they end up in life. Sounds dramatic, but this is the actual findings of research commissioned by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, a 34 nation pro-democracy, pro open-market council. Astoundingly the group reported in 2002 that reading for enjoyment is a stronger indicator of future academic success than a child's socio-economic background. Two recent studies also indicate that digital reading cannot deliver the same benefits including basic comprehension and ordering of events as that of a physical book. In other words, real books still yield real power, and I need books for my classroom. And not just any books, I need books that are of high interest to eighth graders.

Debbie Cook
Early Childhood Education Center-"ECEC Students Need to be on a Diet"

What we need is a Sensory Diet! A Sensory Diet is a "diet" of daily routines that incorporate calming and organizing activities for children diagnosed with Sensory Integration Disorder and other developmental delays such as Autism and Intellectual Disabilities. My Developmentally Delayed Pre-K students have difficulty regulating their senses throughout the day, leaving them unable to participate fully in the classroom activities. Each child has an individualized set of activities that are built into their schedule designed to help them stay focused and keep their body functioning at it's optimal level.

Lori Wilkinson
Angus Valley Elementary-"Active Seating in the Special Needs Classroom"

Keeping a child's attention on their school work or during therapy sessions can be difficult for teachers. Doing so when a child has autism, ADHD or some other learning difference can be even more challenging. Many of these kids have decreased muscle tone or a constant need for movement-based sensory input that contributes to fidgeting, slouching or soreness, making it tough for them to engage in learning. Active seating allows for movement to keep the body and mind more engaged by adding a little wiggle, bounce or wobble during every day seated activities.

Gina Myers
Angus Valley Elementary-"Pedal Pushers"

This project will allow the students to have the opportunity to move throughout the day while still participating in the daily classroom activities. The students are taught about the importance of getting daily exercise but some days when the weather is bad they are not allowed to go outside and get that exercise. This will show them that they do not have to be an athlete to stay healthy the rest of their lives. Part of the equation to staying healthy is getting that heart rate up through exercise. Scientists have also proved that movement during learning "wakes up" areas of the brain needed to retain and recall information.

Kristen Tanner
