Learning on the go! Instead of having her 10th grade English students take notes on Aristotle’s seven elements of good storytelling from a PowerPoint presentation, Mrs. Ray had them visit different stations in the hallway to get them up and moving. “Students have a tendency to learn better when they are combining multiple parts of the brain. So that includes physical movement, in addition to writing, in addition to reading, which we will be doing in a minute,” Mrs. Ray said. #WeArePCPS #TeamPowhatan
