ABSTRACT

Students may be a little rowdy at first, because of the novelty of doing something different. However, once it becomes part of the routine, students will adjust to it as simply their new active learning environment. Some teachers need to be convinced that adding physical activity to classrooms will result in more focused, better-behaved students who can accomplish even more throughout the school day, which our research throughout the book will support. Children with attention deficit disorder and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder need opportunities to move when they have too much energy. One final thought on rules and routines is that every incident should be handled on a case-by-case basis, because each child and situation is different.
