Day 107: Andrew Bennett, Teacher, John Ware School

This year at John Ware we have been lucky enough to receive a grant through the Ed Matters program to enrich our classroom through mindful activity.  Part of this grant has allowed our team to purchase two exercise bikes to use in the classroom, as a complement to instruction. Students use the bike multiple times throughout their day as a way to help build in movement breaks.  These help them to regulate their emotions and increase their ability to focus and sustain their attention on their activities each day.  We have students coming in the morning who will go straight to the bike, and others that build it into transitions (like class change) throughout their day.  Some of our students are tracking their distances, and some go on to have social time with a peer.  We have seen students that struggle to start their day (think head on desk!) independently use the bikes to get themselves ready for school!  It has been an awesome addition to the classroom and is incredible to see students choosing active strategies to manage their mental health!  

Andrew Bennett teaches in the mental health junior high program at John Ware.  I enjoy being outside and talking about stuff.
