Tactile Stepping Pathway

Children can walk on the sloping and narrow ridges as a balance exercise or walk along the sides of the ridge to traverse to the other side to challenge the mobility of the lower body. The anti-slip pattern ensures safety and makes the activity more fun!

Benefits:

Improve spatial awareness while balancing.

Balancing activities challenge the brain to adjust its spatial orientation using the proprioceptive system.

Balancing helps aid the brain to place words on a page, to read from left to right and to write patterns in sequence.

Activities that involve balancing help the brain to anchor information and improve memory retrieval.

ABL CALMING CART 

Action Based Learning Mobile Carts offer schools more flexibility to implement Action Based Learning Strategies without compromising space and budget. Carts provide ABL equipment and support materials content specific for the elementary level to assist educators in integrating academics with purposeful movement.

The purpose of this cart is to provide tools for students in need of self regulation and to reset their emotional state. Students will eventually recognize which tools work best for them and when is a good time to use them.

This cart can be used as a whole class/group. Place the cones around your space where you will put the equipment and or materials. There are 10 cones, so you can have up to 10 stations. Feel free to add more as you need. Find the corresponding Station Cards and place them in the slot at the tip of the cone. Model the expectations and proper use for each station. Model how you will have the students rotate through the stations. Instructors can use the timers from the set the duration for the stations. Adjust the amount of time at each station according to how many stations there are, how much time you have, and if you want each child to get to every station. This could be anywhere between 1 and 3 minutes.

This cart can be stored in a classroom or a central location to share with other classrooms. After modeling the expected use of each activity, students can be directed to use the calming cart when they are demonstrating behavior that is escalating; (overly excited, frustrated, sad, angry, etc). This can be done by themselves or with the supervision of another adult.

Support materials provide over 120 Activities and 35+ tools and equipment stations on board the mobile classroom cart. The provided activities can be easily modified and adapted to provide hundreds of additional activities for students as they progress. ABL accessories and equipment that can be quickly pulled off the cart and used in the hallways, classrooms or common areas for quick purposeful movement activities that prepare the brain to learn throughout the day.

In addition to the items on the cart, the package includes wall mounts that can be set up to establish a more consistent setting.

Why are purposeful movement activities important?

Neuroscience shows the relationship between the brain and body plays a critical role in the child's overall development and ability to learn. Research shows practicing specific movements can strengthen these connections and improve reading, writing, memory tasks, and allow children to absorb and retain information more efficiently.

What types of purposeful movement activities are critical to learning?

There are 12 critical areas necessary for a child to develop in order to achieve their full academic potential. These are called the 12 Foundations of Learning Readiness:

• 1- Crossing the Midline - Cross Lateralization

• 2- Body in Space - Vestibular/Proprioception

• 3- Balance - Spatial Orientation

• 4- Visual Development - Encoding Symbols

• 5- Rhythm - Beat Awareness and Beat Competency

• 6- Tactile Learning- Sensory Motor and Fine Motor Skills

• 7- Motor Skills - Locomotor and Nonlocomotor Skills

• 8- Eye/Hand Eye/Foot Coordination - Manipulative Skills

• 9- Physical Fitness- Strength and Flexibility

• 10- Cardiovascular Fitness- Aerobic 

• 11- Problem Solving: Embodied Cognition

• 12- Self Management: Mindfulness and Self-Awareness

REEF RESCUE

Improve motor skills while simultaneously practicing problem-solving.

Reef rescue makes problem-solving fun for kids!

Primary Foundation: Fine Motor Skills

Fine motor development is related to the ability to draw, write, and participate in everyday routines including shoe tying, pencil gripping, scissor cutting, managing buttons, snaps, & zippers, typing, & art projects.

FUN FACT: Did you know? Each day fine motor skills are required over 350 times!
