Although there are many more to be explored, at Waikiki School we strive to teach and practice this habits of the mind.
In my P.E. class you will learn to develop many social, affective, and sportsmanship skill also speed agility and quickness. These skills build confidence in children and allows them to practice "Mind Full Habits" while exercising.
Quotes like these help me build solid P.E. lesson plans full of mind full habits:
"Therefore as I said before, our children from their earliest years must take part in
all the more lawful form of play, for if they are not surrounded with such an
atmosphere,
they can never grow up to be well and virtuous citizens".

Looking in to the past, to change the future.
The history of Physical Education before 1930 in Hawaii is where the answers may
be to lead us in to the future with out obesity, heart & health problems and A.D.D.
As a P.E. teacher it makes me wonder what happened to our children?
18.8 % are over weight and 17.4 qualify as obese.
Hawaii's obesity rate on population is 10-15%. This is what makes 110,000 americans die each year.
it is important that children learn to play and get involved in physical activities like
hiking, hunting, swimming, surfing just like our ancestors did.
This will not only help us survive as a human race but it will help them also
understand better the meaning of Aloha.
We Are All In This Together
But no one is going to do it for us, we need to change the future for our children and we can't wait ant longer.
Now is the time to teach how to play as a team, how to use each others strengths and build our own, also kids must learn how to fall and the consequences of not following the rules.
Children need more certified P.E. teachers that are qualified to teach locomotor, affective,congestive and social skills.
Did you know?
Unfortunately Hawaii is one of the 11 worst states in meeting Physical Education
standards requirements for schools, according to "Shape of the Nation Report":
It's in this status because in the U.S.A it does not require certified, licensed P.E teachers for schools. Also in the worst where Alaska and Colorado.
We are all part of the CHANGE!!!
P.E. for EVERY ONE, P.E. 4 LIFE !!!
