Strategies: A Journal for Physical and Sport Educators, v21 n2 p17-20 Nov-Dec 2007
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, research indicates that today's children are not getting enough physical activity. One solution to this problem is to integrate other subjects into physical education. This article describes a successful physical education program for Pre-K children implemented at the Sheboygan Area School District in Wisconsin. This article also describes the design of the "Move to Improve/Catch the Energy," a physical education curriculum that was implemented at the school. (Contains 3 figures.)
