Ancient Knowledge

quoting Confucius,  "Tell me and I forget. Show me and I remember. Let me do and I understand."


I like to coin the term "movement memory" to add to what Confucius said about learning.  Brain Gym adds movement to learning and complements your school and academic processes.


I still remember a 6 year old learning to read in my class.  These children were given 5 words to learn every week and had to be able to read them the following week.  So for this boy in order to remember a word he had learned  before and to read it aloud, he did a little dance and bump with his buttocks.  It was so funny that we had a good laugh every week - that's movement memory for you.
