From Active Schools…
Active Kids Learn Better!
Active Schools and our collective impact partners work year-round to encourage and support schools across the country in creating active classroom environments. Why? Because studies show that classroom physical activity helps students feel better, work together as a team, reduce anxiety and maintain focus.
To raise awareness of the importance of active classrooms, Active Classrooms Week aims to shine a spotlight on teachers and schools who incorporate physical activity into learning. From December 9-13, educators are encouraged to participate in Active Classrooms Week by showcasing ways they integrate physical activity into their classrooms and highlight the positive impact movement has on students. Teachers who don’t generally incorporate movement into classroom learning are encouraged to give it a try.
- Educators – Share photos, videos, testimonials, ideas or best practices that show the impact movement has on students in a classroom setting.
- Parents – If your child’s teacher integrates physical activity into the classroom, talk to them about it and share photos, videos or their feedback.
