There is a country song I find myself quoting often: “Days go slow and years go fast.” And somehow we find ourselves ready to head back to school for the 25-26 year!
I just read a great article on navigating back to school anxiety (click here to read) for both students and teachers. Dr. Richardson poses “The importance of physical and emotional well-being cannot be overstated…”. One way to support holistic health and student success is to facilitate structured physical activity that is integrated into the school day as part of back-to-school routine and procedure. And by planning this integration now with protocols for classroom physical activity, teachers can be prepared to offer a physically active classroom environment conducive to intellectual, social, emotional, and physical wellness for incoming students.
Teachers: We believe in you! Remember, you are in the profession that enables all other professions to exist. Happy back to school!
