Studies indicate that there is a correlation between academic success and physical fitness. Even if they prove to not be valid, we believe that social and physical instruction is valuable. It is not natural to keep children locked into desks or indoors in classrooms the whole school day. We try to also incorporate academic skills with the physical activity like various types of counting, score keeping, recognition of directions. This is kind of stealth instruction and can never be allowed to take out the fun. The PE instruction has varied through our years of existence due to fairly frequent change in our "coaches". We are hoping for more consistency when we have a permanent long term facility.
