Space Awareness


2nd Grade students playing Fill the Space

Space Awareness is important because it teaches students how to move in a variety of environments and spaces.  We focus on general space, personal space, and moving at different levels, speeds, pathways, and directions.  This week we played a game called Fill the Space where students found the open personal space around their friends and made a giant statue.  Students love this activity because they get to use their imaginations and be creative with their body.
