Action Based Learning
   1-L Students participate in the Action Based Learning Lab with Coach Blake. The lab is a series of progressions and stations, each designed to prepare the brain for input and processing.  Sensory components of balance, coordination, spatial awareness, directionality, and visual literacy are developed as the child rolls, creeps, crawls, spins, twirls, bounces, balances, walks, jumps, juggles, and supports his/her own weight in space. Levels of physical fitness are increased and academic concepts are reinforced. As students move from station to station with a partner or partners, their self awareness, self esteem, and social skills are enhanced.
