Fight Childhood Obesity

The numbers are sad but true. Too many students have the opportunity to have physical education taken from them. There are a plethora of benefits that come from physical activity and a balanced diet. I pledge to help end childhood obesity. #LETSMOVE #FITKIDS #HIGH5







Importance of Physical Education

Many schools across the country aren't making sure that students are getting a proper physical education program. In California, students should participate in physical activity of no less than 200 minutes every 10 days. This video is from TEDx Bend about the importance of Physical Education in schools.

Students have very short attention spans. Research shows that physical activity helps students keep their focus. I think its important not to overload students with information. They should be given breaks throughout instruction so they don't get burnt out. I like giving my students brain breaks and find them to be very effective. One of my favorite resources for brain breaks is (Go Noodle). This website offers awesome dance along and fitness videos. You can do yoga, dance zumba, or even an indoor recess on rainy days. My students absolutely love Go Noodle! Make sure to check out the Koo Koo Kanga Roo channel, you won't regret it! Here's a how to on using Go Noodle.
