What can parents do?
1) Ask - your child:
What did you do in gym, DPA today? Did you play with someone, something? What did you do at recess?
- your teacher/principal:
How do you incorporate daily physical activity in to the school day? How often do you visit the gym? Who is responsible for teaching health and physical education?
