One S.M.A.R.T. Teacher

​Tactile Trackers can take on a playful and innovative twist inspired by Kim, an early childhood educator in Minnesota. Kim likes to  place visual pursuit activities underneath a table, having children lie on their backs and engage in smooth, controlled eye movements while tracking objects above them. 
 
This unique setup transforms skill-building into a fun, engaging experience that naturally supports the development of smooth pursuit eye movements and strengthens eye–hand coordination. It’s a simple shift in the classroom environment that creates an exciting new way for young learners to build foundational visual skills.
 
Here are a few spring Tactile Trackers examples and one for you to download!
