My Vision

There are many goals I have for this upcoming school year.  Ultimately, I want students to have memorable experiences, learn a lot of Spanish, and enjoy themselves.  I hope to achieve these goals through an active and energetic classroom.  I will be exploring movement and the effects it has on student learning.  Movement also does a lot for the brain, so I will be exploring that further as well.

Spanish is something that is quite new to most of my students.  I hope it sparks their interest.  I also want them to understand the importance of learning other languages and learning about other cultures. 

If you walk into my classroom, I hope you would see students actively participating without fear, engaged in the material, and having fun.  I hope you would see students that feel very comfortable amongst their peers and teacher. 

I want my students to have a positive experience socially and academically.

Welcome to my blog.

Hello everyone.  This is Joel Lund.  It was easier than I thought it would be to create a blog.  This blog will be dedicated to my action research on the effects of movement in the classroom.
