Sitting in one spot for hours on end can really test our limits, both mentally and physically. We’ve all been there, staring at a screen or multiple books, feeling the fog roll in, making it harder to concentrate, and, let’s be honest, making us a bit cranky. That’s where sensory breaks can come in and save the day, and trust me, they’re for everyone.

Over the past few years, Gamification has undoubtedly become a buzzword echoed through the hallways in the world of education. The opportunities to enhance learner success is magnified through incorporating the concept of gamification into curriculum and lessons. Gamification is a door opener for students learning not only in the traditional brick and mortar settings, but also in the virtual arena. At Pennsylvania Virtual Charter School, we utilize gamification not only to enhance student learning, but also to allow the student to connect to learning in a way that is relatable. For many learners today, gaming and video games are an integral part of their daily lives. It is something that they can relate to, and sometimes connect with better than traditional style learning. Gamification in education is becoming a popular trend that educators can use to connect with their students, and still meet educational standards that align with their class goals.

This week is more than a celebration; it's a nationwide movement underscoring the critical role of choice in K-12 education and its impact on families and communities. As more families and people across Pennsylvania realize the importance of choice in their children's educational journeys - more are stepping up with their voices, letting others know why it's worth the fight to save charter schools.
