Out of My Chair

By Dr. Kamaria Blackett-Munir

Did you know that research suggests that integrating movement into classroom learning significantly increases student engagement?

Many teachers have found creative and engaging ways to reach all their students, but if you are a parent or educator looking for an additional tool, this book is here to help.

Malachi is a smart boy that has difficulty remaining seated in his chair. His need to be out of his chair can be difficult for his teacher and classmates at times. However, Malachi knows what he needs to succeed. With a simple question, Malachi is able to advocate for himself and show his teacher that small modifications can keep him engaged in learning.

When read aloud, this rhyming movement story:

* Allows children to move their bodies as they listen,

* Highlights the importance of self-advocacy in children,

* Supports the need for movement in kinesthetic learners and reminds children that being different is fine.

This book is your reminder to "Move your body" and "Jog your mind."
