April is the onset of Spring which leads us after a long winter to feeling a sense of rebirth, rejeuvenation, blossoming,these words are important and can all be connected to Physical Education!
Physical education is important because it provides students with a knowledge of how to maintain and live a healthy lifestyle.
MORE REASONS TO LEAD AN ACTIVE LIFESTYLE.....
Dr, Germund Hesslow an internationally renowned cerebullum researcher has been quoted as saying when asked,"what role does physical activity play in the development of learning?" Dr. Hesslow said that all things being equal, a physically active child will have an ADVANTAGE in learning and that an inactive child is at a DISADVANTAGE for learning. Quality physical education provides needed physical activity in the school day and that gives students an advantage for learning, and therefore, may help increase student achievement.
In Honor Of Poetry Month at Quitman School( month ofApril) I have found a poem by Gary Komich: Thoughts in Verse
Lessons learned in pe class
Are values that through life will last
Dress to play, and know the rules
Mind your manners. keep your cool.
Good behavior earns the right
To share the fun. try as you might
You'll never win by cheating here.
The winners come from far and near.
They make good friends and get along.
They put things back where they belong.
There's warming up, and stretching out,
And scoring less without a pout.
Always, all ways, know the score.
And, when you do, then practice MORE.
Start a game by shaking hands.
Play the very best you can.
Obey the rules and share the ball.
Show respect to one and all.
End a game by shaking hands.
Sportsmanship in life demands
You never gloat. You always care
How others feel when you are there.
I hope you enjoyed the P.E Poem!
For added enjoyment I have found a few quotes that are also INSPIRING!
