Professional Literature
First the meaning of ECE is “Early Childhood Education,” this is a teacher that works and teaches young children in a classroom from infancy to age 8 years old. However, in this first article titled Children and Physical Activity the topic that it mentioned first is the importance of movement and physical activity. In this section of the article there is much talk about how children physical activity and movement enhances with fitness and growth. Without the use of physical activity for students the physical inactivity will cause children’s obesity rates, because children are not getting the physical activity needed.
In the next section of this article Elliott touches on the topic of the integrating of Physical Activity throughout the Curriculum. Growing up I have always wondered how they try to fit every curriculum to help with each subject in school. However, know I understand who they do so Elliott tells us that all children learn through movement. By saying this Elliott is promoting the understanding and reinforcing of the curriculum content in many different educational settings. First the subject is Social Studies; this shows the children the use of different maps of the US
The next curriculum subject is Language Arts; in different classes teachers can link PA and real life by reading and teaching the students about the book called The Little Engine the Could. When teaching about the break down of this book teachers can tell there students that Olympians have a dreams, then as the lesson goes on ask the students to verbalize and act out their dreams. However, the next subject is; Physical Education in school students have what we call today PE class, here children practice skills and concepts of pathways, space, cardiovascular endurance, then talk about the different games in the Olympics.
There are only two subjects left that Elliott has touched base on and that is first; Math when thinking about math this is used in almost everything. However, when it comes to linking it with Physical Activity children are fascinated with concepts of time, using stop watches. Also, last of the subjects is the talk on Art, when I think of art there are some many different topic on art. In this article Elliott talks about the different flags from countries that where in the Olympics around the world. Also, there is talk about the different styles of dance art in the Olympics. There are many different styles in linked with gymnastics and rhythmic gymnastics to then ribbon dancing.
National Association for Sports and Physical Education was founded in 1998 and this is about an issued Physical Activity guideline that children need to accumulate 60 minutes of Physical Activity. Without the 60 minutes children will be able to get the break the brain needs to rest each day.
In another article by Elliott the main focus is on the talk about Winter Physical Activity this is an article telling us that just because it is winter does not mean the students have to stop with there 60 minutes of Physical Activity a day. There are many different activities that can be moved inside but there are still many sports that are outside. In this article West Virginia University
However, there are many different physical activities that students can do I the winter that are indoor and at home things to do. At home children can participate in exercise video growing up this is something I loved to do. Another common and fun thing to do is to stay inside and play dance games or any game on the Wii Sport, Fit, Active, and Adventure games. Last there are many different physical activities that children can do in there community such as shooting hoops, dancing, swimming, bowling, water aerobics, and martial arts. Also, for community service projects in the winter the community can shovel snow for anyone that needs it.
After reading each article I felt that I have learned a lot of thing with just learning how each subject is linked to each other. I think that this is an article that children should read.

Assignment #3
Higher Education
“This is a story about a man, and a place where magic happened. It was magic so powerful that the people there can’t stop going back over it, trying to figure out who the man was and what happened right in front of their eyes, and how it’ll change the time left to them on earth” (Smith).
In this article this is a town kind of like Waleska, in this Amish town this town was a town without high school football team or fast food restaurants, in this town there were not even traffics lights or beer. When Willie Mast was 24 he left his Amish religion and went out on his eight-year cylinder. When you leave the Amish community the person is left to live there own life, because of this Willie had not terms of transportation. Willie then did something big he started a trucking company, in 1982 is when biggest legend when Charlie Huggins came into to town. Charlie was a basketball coach who won two Ohio
In the continued reading of the article race comes into the mix, it says that Charlie would become the assistant coach at a Catholic school with the coach being black. Charlie quit not because of the skin color of the coach but because, “in disgust at an administration that wouldn’t let players out of their last class 10 minutes early to dress for practice” (Smith). However, moving on with the article people were thinking that the coach was a spy here to look after the Amish.
So my take on this article is the talk about how it was for the Amish children when growing up. Also I think that this is an article about a relationship and bringing together of the Amish and the Blacks. In this article the Coach changed communities and from Amish to black.
I thought this article was great because is shows the readers about how some people at the start of something can think about the color of ones skin and I this there is not a problem. In the start the black community did not understand why a white man would want to come a coach a black basketball team.
However, another comparison of a film could be about the Remember the Titians in this movie no one wanted him to be apart of the community because of his skin color then later they did not ever focus so much on the skin color but just begin a team. I would tell people to read this article and see what act comes to them when after reading it. I have to say I think that this article was very hard at times to understand. I am can tell just by reading and writing about the article that I did not really get the true meaning of this story.
However, it says that “in the unlikeliest of places- Ohio
When finished with reading this article I am left thinking did I get the right take on this article simply because I thought it was a long article in itself. However, I would love to really sit down and really break down everything form this article to get a better understanding of how everyone felt and Willies feelings on things. I felt as he was kind of hard to read. In the start of the story I thought the story was going to be about Willie but what turned out to be about the Coach and the difference he made on a community.
