Elementary students get the majority of their movement during the school day in physical education (PE) and recess. It is estimated that kids get about 5,000-6,000 steps during school on non-PE days and 7,000-8,000 steps on PE days. HPE teachers already have it figured out! Active and healthy students are better learners.
