Expert Answer

Movement is necessary for younger elementary students because they cannot remain seated for a long time in the same place.

Expert Answer

To build a relationship with your students, you should be genuinely interested in what they want to say. Ask questions and give them time to speak instead of speaking yourself all the time.

Expert Answer

If the students are getting off task and the class is becoming noisy, you can use calm response techniques. You can make them do 123 eyes on me 123 eyes on you, or ask them to make a waterfall sound. The children like them and know they need to be quiet after doing them.

Question

How do I write activity to foster physical and gross motor development?

Community Answer

Assess the children's physical and gross motor development through observation during play to determine each child's developmental level, then select activities appropriate for each child's level of development based on your observation and also the child's age range. Suitable activities for the development of physical and gross motor skills include: jumping, skipping and running.
