for Sport and Physical Education standards, including the recommended guideline
of 150 minutes per week of instructional physical education for elementary
school children. In 2013 the
Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, in partnership with the President's
Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition, reviewed the 2008 Physical
Activity Guidelines for Americans. Their Midcourse Report advises
several strategies, including “adding short bouts of physical activity to
existing classroom activities.”
The Experts Praise Miss Amy’s Keep
Kids Fit!
“An exhilarating, well researched and adventurous
way to get kids hooked on exercise!!! This guide is easy to follow
and goes right along with the Physical Activity Guidelines outlined by
the President’s Council on
Fitness, Sports & Nutrition. A must-have for any
classroom”. - Paula L.
Slusher, RN, MSN, American Academy of Pediatrics
“Miss Amy’s lesson plans are fantastic! She gets them moving time and time
again! The lyrics are a big bonus
as they are educational and send a positive message!" - Tracy
Radler, Physical Education Lesson Plan Specialist
“The warm-up activity song ‘Rise and Shine Little
Star’ captured my attention immediately.
It is an excellent way to transition into the start of a school day. If students engage with the music and
learn in this fun way it could change the whole direction for everyone in the
classroom”. - JoAnn Younger Ray, RN, BSN, CSN-NJ School Nurse
