A new way of learning may be just what the children need to enjoy their school work. At Alexander Elementary, they have decided to incorporate physical activity within the lessons, such as math or reading. With new information, the educators at Alexander Elementary have found that children remember things, such as math facts better when they are incorporated with movement.
Alexander schools integrate math and movement into one activity.
Alexander Elementary will be opening their doors to the parents and students so that they can come and experience the Math and Movement program. They are also offering free online resources that the parents can use at home. Getting a good turn out to this event will potentially help in getting these resources into the classroom full time.
It started when a couple of Alexander Elementary teachers went to a professional development last spring on Math and Movement, which tries to incorporate physical activity into math class and lessons.

Is your child struggling in school?
Get your free personalized learning roadmap
You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
- Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
- Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
- You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
- Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
