This past summer, Stevens Elementary installed two
sensory paths, one in the primary hallway and another,
upstairs in the intermediate wing.
These movement focused pathways are intended to
connect the left and right hemispheres of students' brains
and prepare them to learn. Research supports the idea that
movement opens the blood vessels in the body and
increases blood flow to the brain thereby, increasing
memory, attention and focus. Along with flexible seating in
the classroom, the sensory paths are just one of many
ways that Stevens nurtures the whole
child.
