Leaping into Literacy, Moving through Math
Presenter: Laurie Tarter, BFA Young children learn best through active involvement. During this interactive workshop, participants will recognize movement as means of helping children physically experience emergent math and literacy concepts. Practitioners will explore the basic elements of movement and be able to design active, fun experiences that reinforce basic skills and keep children moving and learning every day.

MOVE-ABILITY: Nurturing Body, Brain and Spirit
Presenter: Laurie Tarter, BFAThis interactive workshop will demonstrate how incorporating developmentally appropriate loco-motor and axial (non-loco-motor) movement experiences can build upon individual abilities and learning styles and support children with special needs. Based upon The Brain Dance, developed by Anne Green Gilbert, participants will learn how to apply the eight movement patterns of early human development to jump-start the body and the brain. Participants will recognize how movement strategies accompanied by familiar nursery rhymes can be applied when working with children with special needs.
