Hello SHAPE Colorado Members,

On behalf of SHAPE Colorado, I would like to welcome you to our 2024 Convention. We are excited to offer our Pre-Convention Workshops on Sunday, October 6, and daily Conventions session on Monday and Tuesday, October 7 & 8. The SHAPE Colorado Board has worked hard to create a convention line-up that is sure to educate, engage and excite you so you can better serve our profession and students.

Be sure to stop by and visit the exhibitors; don’t forget to place your bids on the various silent auction items, and fist bump a SHAPE Colorado Board member while you’re at it for all of their hard work. We also hope you will join us for the Awards Ceremony on Monday, October 7, as we recognize several HPE champions. To Register for the 2024 SHAPE Colorado Convention (cvent.com).

It’s a no brainer! We know the brain and body work hand-in-hand. But, did you know certain specific motor movements enhance learning Math and Literacy Skills? How does doing toe touches help me read? How does “Pretzel Arms” calm me and help me focus? Integrated into these fun, purposeful activities designed to teach fitness and nutrition concepts are skills used to challenge the brain-body connection to build & improve essential academic skills. Connections are made between classroom and HPE teachers and between the mind and body!

Session Objectives:

1. Provide examples on how physical activity can improve motor skill development and student behavior

2. Explain how movement positively impacts student learning and peer relationships

3. Show how to set up motor sensory activity stations for the classroom, gym or outdoor space
