Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the role of movement in authentic learning in the elementary classroom. First, this chapter discusses the role of movement education in fostering a classroom climate of curiosity, learning, and positive development for children. Next, the chapter explores the link between being active as a child and increases in learning. Movement is children's first contact with the world, and since the interaction between children and their environment is primarily via the body, movement can spur the development of conceptual understanding. Therefore, this chapter proposes that young learners benefit from having movement activities embedded into their educational experiences, especially in the elementary physical education classroom.
