Notes: The mind is an amazing thing. Memory pegs can help provide you with a memorable access point to the information you have stored in your mind. Teachers just want to have fun. Music as cues in the classroom is helpful and engaging for students and teachers. You can clip the songs in your iTunes Library. Ideas for kinetic learning–mat or floor tape/pockets and bean bag toss.
