Although I have retired from my career as a health and physical educator, I continue to advocate about the importance of physical literacy and physical activity. Recently, Ive been collaborating with Alison Loewen, childrens librarian at the Mead Public Library in Sheboygan, WI, to create events that link reading and physical literacy. So far, weve gotten positive feedback about adding physical activity during several of the librarys storytime events.

For many students, physical education is critical to becoming active and developing healthy routines. But how is this possible anymore with the repercussions of the pandemic? Years of COVID-19, social distancing, and virtual learning have all had a profound effect on students, which means educators need to adjust their classes accordingly. The good news is that P.E. can still play a vital role in helping students intellectually, emotionally, physically, and socially.

Physical education is an important part of the development of the whole person: physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively. By providing education in movement competency, education on using movement to develop the ability to be self-regulated and motivated, and education through movement to develop ‘habits of mind’ for positive and constructive engagement with others, PE provides a basis for personal and community health and wellbeing.
