Rewarding Homeschool Blog

The Rewarding Homeschool Blog is a mini-journal that...

• lets you know whenever new Web pages appear on Homeschool-Rewards.

• tells you when a visitor (like you!) submits a new page.

• informs you when we send out the Homeschool-Rewards Zone e-zine (in case you don't like to give your e-mail address, or if your ISP tends to over-filter, causing you to miss an issue).

  To subscribe to my Homeschool Blog (no e-mail necessary), right-click on the orange RSS button (see bottom buttons to the left) and then paste the URL into your RSS reader. Or click on the My Yahoo! button or My MSN or Add To Google button if you keep a personalized home page there.

  Once you start, you will be amazed at what RSS can do.

  Enjoy... this is fun!

Exercise Improves Academic Perfomance

An extensive review of relevant research has demonstrated that the more physically active schoolchildren are, the better they do academically.

Researchers analyzed 14 studies, ranging in size from as few as 50 participants to as many as 12,000.

All of the studies involved children between the ages of 6 and 18.

There are several hypothesized mechanisms for why exercise is beneficial for cognition, including:

(1) Increased blood and oxygen flow to the brain

(2) Increased levels of norepinephrine and endorphins resulting in a reduction of stress and an improvement of mood

(3) Increased growth factors that help to create new nerve cells and support synaptic plasticity
