B3: Brain, Body, Behavior Program

Purpose:

Do you know kids who fidget, wiggle, or chew their shirts? How about students who are angry, frustrated, irritable, or "shut down" due to academic pressures? Due to technological recreation and the lack of active play, students are entering schools with bodies underdeveloped for learning.  By incorporating B3 activities into a classroom, gymnasium, or lab, schools can help students develop the fundamental motor skills to spark their brain, build their bodies, and improve their behavior to increase academic performance.
