The 4 R's of Education
For years we had heard the expression "The 3 R's in education are reading, writing and arithmetic." These were considered the most important components of education. I say, let's add another "r," for running! Research has shown running is beneficial in boosting brain function, which in turn improves education.
Studies have indicated that increased physical activity leads to better blood flow to the brain and stimulation of brain cell growth.
My job as Physical Education teacher is to make running (or any type of exercise) to be fun. I feel how children view exercise now will carry over into adulthood. READY----SET-----RUN!
