Developing both gross and fine motor skills, along with a solid sense of balance, is absolutely fundamental to educating the whole child. Kids who are confident riding bikes and scooters aren't just having a blast; they're building crucial gross motor skills like coordination and strength. And when they're engaged in activities that sharpen their fine motor skills, like drawing or building, they're developing the dexterity needed for writing and other essential tasks. Plus, a good sense of balance underpins so much, from sitting still in class to jumping and playing. Dolphin Terrace Elementary actively integrates this by using bikes and scooters for learning shapes. This hands-on approach isn't just about burning energy; it's about nurturing physical literacy, boosting cognitive development, and fostering a well-rounded, capable learner.
