Can Physical Education Make you Smarter?
Physical education equipment

For some time, researchers have known that exercise changes the structure of the brain and affects thinking.

Ten years ago scientists at the Salk Institute in California published the groundbreaking finding that exercise stimulates the creation of new brain cells. But fundamental questions remain, like whether exercise must be strenuous to be beneficial. Should it be aerobic? What about weight lifting? And are the cognitive improvements permanent or fleeting?

The answers to these questions can be found in the NY Times article, "Phys Ed: What Sort of Exercise Can Make You Smarter?" By Gretchen Reynold.

Take it Outside Week
newsletter grants

RESTON, VA, September 3, 2009 -- To increase outdoor play while celebrating the environment, early childhood education and care centers are invited to join Head Start Centers across the country in participating in the inaugural Take It Outside Week, October 19 - 23, 2009.  Presented by Head Start Body Start National Center for Physical Development and Outdoor Play (HSBS), the national initiative is sponsored by the National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) and the American Association for Physical Activity and Recreation (AAPAR). Its purpose is to get children outside, connect with the natural world, and increase physical activity. 

HSBS will provide programs with everything they need to celebrate Take It Outside Week including activity ideas, tips for facilitating play, and suggestions for enhancing the environment.  From Books That Move You to 15 Simple Ways to Get Moving, the activities are designed to increase physical activity for young children and promote family involvement. Head Start Centers serve over 900,000 children and their families.  For a wonderful array of free resources about Take It Outside! Week, visit  Take it outside week.
General Mills Box Tops for Education and Campbell Soups Labels Equals  Equipment for Playground

Box Tops for Education
The beginning of the school year is a great time to think about clip-and-save programs like Box Tops for Education and Campbell Soup Labels.  PTA/PTO groups redeem product labels or proofs of purchase for cash or products.  These two programs are popular due to their simplicity, and  familiar products parents already purchase.  An added bonus is that they eliminate the need for door-to-door sales.
We hope you enjoyed this month's Play Nice Newsletter. Why not forward Play Nice to a friend?

Sincerely,
