We teach at the Ancona School, a small, progressive elementary school in the Hyde Park area of Chicago’s South Side. Each year, our school’s Gone Fishin’ trip combines physical education with outdoor recreation. These are just the kinds of conditions and experiences we want for our students, as they yield rich growth opportunities.

As children grow older, this conditional approval can encourage a cycle of anxiety and fear of failure. This underscores the futility of making high-stakes decisions about a childs athletic future in elementary school. Physical activity and fundamental movement skills are essential throughout childhood.
