Opis

Students often learn better on their feet than in their seats, and this powerful book helps you make the most of that in the classroom. Authors Brad Johnson and Melody Jones show that with COVID leading to more inactivity, more schools cutting PE, and the rise in sedentary obesity, it’s more important than ever for kids to get moving.
