In Physical Education class children are having a great time – getting exercise, learning skills, finding success, gaining self-esteem and learning how to live healthy and happy lives. Lincoln kids get 30 action-filled minutes of P.E./Dance everyday.  Here are some of the activities “gym” classes have been doing so far:

            Soccer, parachutes, hula hoops, dances from around the world, capture the flag,

            stilts, frisbees, jump bands, juggling scarves, lacrosse, golf, football skills, basketball skills, softball skills, relays,

           jump rope, “them bones,” (learning about human anatomy), the Turkey Trot (mile run), physical fitness, gymnastics, hip hop, flying turtles and much more.

Latest report from Newsweek

“Physical activity is good not only for the heart, but also for the brain, feeding it glucose and oxygen, and increasing nerve connections, all of which makes it easier for children of all ages to learn.  Numerous studies show that children who exercise do better in school.”  Newsweek
