As a physical education teacher, I think that any movement that the students can fit into their daily routine is GREAT! The students at my school participate in physical education for 1 hour a week! So, out of almost 40 hours a week of being in school they have a structured one hour of movement. This idea of involving movement into academics is a good idea. Classroom teachers can definitely incorporate movement into their lessons. Unfortunately, the amount of movement that can be incorporated is probably not that much. We need to start putting some pressure on the parents and push them to help their children stay fit outside of school!
