Today I did something I have never done before. My student that needs to learn some multiplication facts said she was feeling tired. So rather than sitting down and going over the flash cards, I invited her to take a walk with me through the unoccupied halls of the school. As we walked, I held the flash cards so she could see them and she practiced giving the correct answer.
Roaming around the halls of the school when we were supposed to be in a classroom made it feel like we were getting away with something. But she was learning and we were both getting a bit of exercise. When we returned to our sedentary spot, she did very well at remembering the correct answers. Go figure--you don't always have to be sitting down to learn!
