Movement Ed.

Today in Movement Education I learned the "Three Class Managment Structures". The three structures are Free Traveling, Perfect Spots, and Diagonal Structure. The Free Traveling Structure is children traveling anywhere in the room. This specific structure is good for warm-up activities, learning and practicing locomotor movements, partner work, stamina, and almost all work with props. The Perfect Spots Structure is a stationary space of one's own. This structure is good for learning and practicing nonlocomotor movements, exercises, beginning work on levels, beginning work on directions, and quieting movements. Lastly, the Diagonal Structure moves children individually or in small groups across the diagonal. This structure is good for working on difficult locomotor movements, locomotor movement patterns, some work on levels, some work on directions, some props, one game, and testing. Not only did we talk about all three structures, but we also practiced each structure moving in Free Traveling, Perfect Spots, and Diagonal Structures.
