Chalk Talk: The Importance of Physical Education in our Schools
With the rapid advancements in technology, cell phones and hand-held devices, our children unfortunately, have become less active. Good
eating habits, physical activity and exercise are key factors to good health, and all of these important factors can be taught in Physical
Education Class at school. Studies have shown children are more focused, more cooperative, and perform better academically when they
participate in a Physical Education Program, reminding us that Physical Education Class is an important part of a child's curriculum in all grade levels.
