Gross Motor Development Skills

By providing students with the tools to work on their gross motor skills, you set them up for a lifetime of success. The term “gross motor skills” refers to the coordinated movement of muscles in the torso/core, arms and legs. Basic movements such as sitting, standing and walking all use one’s gross motor; so does playing sports or raking leaves. By mastering the gross motor skills, it lays the groundwork for both whole-body movements (e.g. running and jumping) and fine motor skills like holding pencils or paint brushes.
