I am getting so excited about the MOVING TO MATH program for this year.  There are only a few months until my workbook will be completed with new photographs.  As I’m planning for the photo-shoot – I brainstormed about WHO will be photographed.  There are some great ideas about this for sure because I know a lot of amazing dancers.  THEN – the thought occurred to me, “Kimberly, why don’t you select a Moving to Math team?”  There are movers every year that get it and are excited and they do it well!  These kids can actually travel and perform the knowledge too!!  I’m so excited.  I will do this!

Here are some fabulous results from last year as well!!! (Don’t worry, I’ll share more data along the way!) From this chart I know that the students who are at risk are becoming healthier.  However, the students that are already healthy, while they have enjoyed the class and they have increased academic scores (more coming on that as well), they didn’t experience increased fitness.  That’s okay, at this juncture.  I will find additional ways to train them too!

This table shows the resting heart rate of new movement students in February and then the ending resting heart rate in May.

Please pass along the word that I’m scheduling visits with K-6th graders.  If you know a teacher that would like to have her class experience MOVING TO MATH!  Please let me know!
