Adapted Phys Ed: Day 5 The Kids are Having Fun!

THE KIDS ARE HAVING FUN!!!!

New PE philosophy is fitness based over specific sport skill based (ie/ volleyball, basketball)

"Just having fun with my friends, I don't even realize I am working" (quote from video)

Dr. John Ratey (author of Spark)
-implemented program locally at Landmark East School
- start their day with PE get heart rate up for 20 minutes before their hardest classes leads to more targeted focus in class and research shows significant success
- fitness based programming
- exercise is brain fertilizer (Miracle Grow)
- research is showing exercise and learning are connected ***that is scary when you think of the present day obesity rates which lead to a lack of fitness***
- go to the outside community for funding
- "exercise is as much an academic exercise as much as an athletic one"
