But the laughter was coming from about 40 adults â classroom and physical education teachers, recess monitors and even the principal. They were skipping, âgallopingâ and juggling scarves, among other things, as part of a SPARK physical education workshop designed to improve studentsâ health and learning. âThe energy in this room is amazing,â said Principal Erin Conn, who was in the thick of the fun. âThatâs what activity brings for all people.â. SPARK stands for Sports, Play and Active Recreation for Kids. Joan Gillem, a master SPARK instructor from California, was showing participants how various activities can be used not only to help students become more fit but also to help them to learn.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. A lesion is any abnormal damage or change in the tissue of an organism, usually caused by disease or trauma. Lesion is derived from the Latin word laesio meaning injury. Lesions may occur in plants as well as animals.
The following is a summary of the cranial nerves and their respective functioning. Lesions of the nervous system above the spinal cord are often classified as peripheral or central in location. Peripheral lesions are lesions of the cranial nerve nuclei, the cranial nerves or the neuromuscular junctions. Central lesions are lesions in the brainstem (not involving a cranial nerve nucleus), cerebrum or cerebellum. If there is a lesion in the brainstem involving a cranial nerve nucleus along with other areas of the brain stem, then the lesion is considered both central and peripheral.
