Why We Move
This chapter argues that deep learning happens when these two things are integrated.
What are body and mind?
Young children naturally show rhythm through wiggle, rock, and this.
What is bounce?
Name one type of locomotor movement mentioned in the chapter.
What is skipping, galloping, hopping, walking, running?
Rhythm in speech includes stressed and unstressed these.
What are syllables?
Children respond to music first in this way before analyzing it cognitively
What is kinesthetically (through movement)?
By age six, children can respond physically to this musical element.
What is meter (duple/triple)?
This Orff-related approach integrates speech, rhythm, and movement.
What is Orff Schulwerk?
Name one strategy from Box 6.4.
What is name chants (or rhythm chants)?
Movement strengthens this foundational rhythmic skill.
What is steady beat (pulse)?
Clapping syllables strengthens this language skill.
What is phonemic awareness (syllabification)?
Teachers should establish clear expectations for attention and this when planning movement.
What is safety (or self-control/discipline)?
Children can chant, clap, and pat to reinforce this rhythmic concept.
What is accent (or meter/pulse)?
The chapter states that movement is not a break from learning but instead is this.
What is learning itself (a core part of learning)?
Children develop increasingly complex movement patterns combining small and large muscle movements during this stage.
What is early and middle childhood?
Movement activities should reflect this musical quality.
What is rhythm, pitch, dynamics, or phrasing?
Action songs reinforce meaning of text through this
What are gestures (movement)?
Teachers incorporate movement because it supports attention, memory, and this broader concept of development.
What is whole-child development?
Moving rhythmically helps children connect abstract math concepts like this
What is number patterns (or fractions/pattern recognition)?
Box 6.4 describes integrating rhythmic movement into this academic area.
What is speech (or language arts)?
Movement in speech activities helps retain and practice concepts in this subject area.
What is language arts?
