Description of content, workshop style, and intended audience 

· I will share strategies that support language development, brain training and fun movement breaks that are inclusive for all learners.
· In this session participants will learn about creative movement principles inspired by Anne Green Gilbert in her approach to brain-compatible learning and movement education. Movement becomes a tool not only for physical development but also for improving literacy and language skills
· This session will be interactive. Participants will learn new movement concepts paired with corresponding rhymes; helping students connect physical actions with language. Movement patterns that cross the midline of the body stimulate neural connections that enhance both motor coordination and language comprehension.
· Early years to grade 3, teachers of MLL learners, inclusion teachers
