SILENT CHEERS AND ENERGIZERS
TO PROMOTE a Learner-Centered Classroom, these tools are excellent in engaging students in kinesthetic activity (that relieves fatigue from mental work) and promotes a highly social, caring community. Some of my favorites are listed below. I am always adding new ones, so keep checking this page!
