S.M.A.RT. Spaces

On a recent visit to an elementary school, teachers inquired how to get more eye teaming in for their younger elementary aged students. They were incorporating a lot of the CORE vision activities in the classroom but were hungry for more ideas.

Enter the Peg Arc.
​
This visual tool is one that students prefer because it is game-like and used independently. As you can see in the picture, the student will “leapfrog” the golf pegs one over the other from side to side and up the center of the Peg Arc. It is key that they should not move their heads but only have their eyes following the pegs.

A couple of these arcs can be used in classrooms for students who may need a little extra visual stimulation, as a waiting activity in the S.M.A.R.T. room, or even a quick individual break during long classroom work times. The Peg Arc can be passed from student to student. When it is their turn, they stop their work, take a minute to do the arc, and then pass it to the next student in front or behind them.
Don’t have a Peg Arc but would love to incorporate it into your S.M.A.R.T. routine? You can purchase them at our online store and get them shipped right to your school!
