April showers bring May flowers! While we are enjoying the warmer temperatures, the spring showers put a damper on our outdoor time. No Worries! We still get in our large gross motor movement in the classrooms. Here are The AOG kids having fun.
Gross Motor Skills develop control of large muscles for movement, navigation, and balance.
Why is Gross Motor Development so important?
- Health- benefits of exercise to body and mind
- Confidence & Self Esteem- a important life skill
- Ability to Assess Risk- another important life skill, not only with physical well being but with taking risks in life with decision making
- Energy Release- Physical, Social, and Emotional
- Brain Development- the early years lay the foundation of brain pathways for lifelong motor skills and aids in learning, especially learning skills that require advanced thinking and mental dexterity
