A student's natural love of movement can be a powerful stimulus to learning. In Shake, Rattle, and Learn you will discover practical, proven ideas to create dynamic classrooms where learning happens.

The rich, holistic activities in this valuable resource address the relationship between movement and learning in virtually every subject area-language arts, mathematics, music, visual arts, social studies, science, and environmental studies. The book progresses from simple individual and partner explorations to more complex group and classroom activities, including dance. Students develop skills in cooperation and collaboration as they explore important concepts in rhythmic, spatial, and language expression.

Each chapter in Shake, Rattle, and Learn gives you:

- Realistic, do-able alternative learning strategies classroom-tested with K-6 students.

- Details for the introduction, monitoring, control, and development of each activity.

- A different theme presented in full with an outline of the skills, movement, content, and extensions.

- Cross-curriculum applications.

Although movement provides real benefits for all, kinesthetic learners, who often have problems with more traditional teaching methods, can flourish in classrooms with strong physical dimension. Shake, Rattle, and Learn will help teachers recognize different learning styles so they can maximize learning for all students.
