  can you involve the parents and community
  resources (i.e., fieldtrips)? Lastly, include
  information on a field trip you could take your
  class on in your local area that would extend the
  learning that you included in one of your sample
  activities. Relate experiences from your own

• Brain Development. Brain-based education suggests
  that physical exercise is important for brain

  stimulating the social development and
  intellectual development of young children.

  both feet, may not be invited to join in a game
  of jump rope. This is an example of how a childs
  individual characteristics (motor skills in this
  case) can affect context (social environment) and
  influence development (LeFrancois, 2012).

  television programs or playing violence-themed
  games contributes to increased aggressiveness in
  children. We also know that the break-up of the
