The benefits of exercise

19 Apr

Research has found that exercise can help improve memory when you are aging.

Research has found that when teaching, it is best to teach to all the senses.

When developing lesson plans, teachers are told to incorporate as many hands on methods as possible.

When teaching special needs children, research has found that using large movements and crossing the body with those movements aids in memory.

Yet, too often, we neglect the large movements.  We do not allow for enough exercise.

Children who participate in sports do better in school.

As a parent, I often question if I allowed my children to get enough exercise at the end of the day.  As a teacher, I find that exercise is equally as important as reading and nutrition.  Do you?
