MeMoves - Revisited

I wrote about MeMoves a couple of weeks ago, and I wanted to come back and share some anecdotal thoughts about it!  I received my MeMoves DVD last week, and I'm loving it!  I am using it throughout the day to focus and calm my students and they are responding.  I've found that even when the students have trouble with a motion (some are quite hard!) it seems to help them get ready to work.  They are even asking to MeMoves during other times.  It's nothing concrete, but I can say that this DVD has been a great addition to my repertoire and I'm so glad that I purchased it.  Check out Memoves at http://thinkingmoves.com.

MeMoves

One last item from ATIA!  As I wandered around the exhibit hall on the first day I came across a very busy  booth for MeMoves.  MeMoves is a set of DVD's the help increase focus, concentration, and calmness.  The movements are simple and can be done sitting or standing.  The beat is slow, 40-60 beats, and is very easy to follow.  Some of the movements can be hard to do (just try moving one hand up & down, while the other makes a square), but the DVD's show many different adults & kids doing them, some well and some not so well.  It's a great way to show that we all do things differently.  The program was designed by a mom of a daughter with Autism, but would work for many students!  The best part is the price - $59.95!  This program is a great way to "warm up" your brain!
