| Physical Education is a very important part of childrens health. American children are amongst the highest in the world when it comes to obesity rates. A physical educator's job is to teach children how to make healthy choices, such as healthy foods and exercise often for cardiovascualr health. The key to making this impressing upon children is to educate in a way where they are having fun and enjoying an experience. Fun will be the main focus of our mission. |

Announcements | Healthy Choices
Healthy choices are important to stay in shape or get in shape. To many people in America go to fast food restaurants on a normal basis. This is extremely unhealthy because of all the calories and trans fats that are in those foods. We need to start watching what we eat and incorporate organic foods into our diets. | Shaping Childrens Minds
If a teacher or a coach has the opportunity to influence a child at young age, the more likely that child will maintain a level of good health throught their maturation years. It sets a life style for them and it becomes part of a routine, that is ingrained into the person they will become later in life | Making a Lesson Plan
To all the teachers out there in the field of physical education, picking a fun lesson plan is crucial. If you are able to captivate the students attention during the activities they are more likely to usnderstand its purpose. During, the lesson a teacher may want to reiterate the goal of the lesson so the children can keep that in the back of their minds when they are playing. |
