"You can teach a student a lesson for a day; but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives." ~Clay P. Bedford
Move to Learn!
As both a Physical Education and English teacher, my goal is to prove to all students, faculty, and parents that physical activity, brain health, and learning are all linked.
How?
