My granddaughter is in kindergarten. Her teacher has started doing PACE every day. It has
made such a difference in her excitement about school.
Usually, in our prekindergarten class there are four perfect papers. We started doing Brain Gym.
Now, all but four papers are perfect.
I have a student that is so capable but would not read even for prizes. She is now in the top
point winners of the Book Adventure Club. It is all because of Brain Gym. I know it is.
We have students coming to us with such comments as:
I was not a believer. I am now. This came from a student who wanted to quit school. His
parents were about convinced this was the only way out for their child. They were very skeptical when
they came to the parent information night. However, they decided to give us a chance. Their child is still
attending school regularly.
Remember when I did not like to do homework? I do it all of the time now.
Before, I was the dumbest kid in class. Now, I am one of the first to turn in my work. I cannot
believe it. It is confusing how it was there, but I could not get it out.
I have never made the honor roll in my life. I made the A-B Honor Roll. I use Brain Gym every
day.
I used the Positive Points in class during a test. The answer came just like you said it would.
I made all As and only one B this time. I am going for the A Honor Roll next six weeks. This
makes two times I made the A-B Honor Roll.
The first night of class, one student said he would not participate in the exercises and was allowed
to sit and watch. However, before the night was over, he very quietly joined the group.
We had a parent night on what turned out to be a cold, rainy night. Therefore, our hopes of
anyone attending were very dim. However, eight adults and two students came. The parents did every
one of the exercises with us and shared information about their children. We were extremely pleased.
We have fifteen students signed up for the study club at this time. Eight of them are attending
regularly. We meet after school from 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. two times a week. The school provides us
with a van to take four of the students home, as they do not have a means of transportation. Six of the
eight students, failing or in danger of failing, passed for the six weeks after only three weeks of coming to
the student club. There was a grade increase of 158 points among the eight students. We do Brain Gym
exercises every week. We require our students to drink water throughout the day. Teachers are now
allowing it in the classroom. We ask our students to do PACE every day. However, most wait until the
two study club days to do it. We do whole group balances for reading, writing, math, focusing and
organization. We also do whole group DLRs. The rest of the time is spent on study skills, students
learning about their strengths and weaknesses, homework and test taking skills. Recently, tutors were
hired for TAKS math practice. These classes begin after Brain Gym exercises are done.
Brain Gym has proven to be a tool that reaches out to any and all types of people. We have seen
it create positive attitudes and enrich students lives. It is another way to reach one more student as we, in
education, continue our quest to reach every student one student at a time.
