Extracurricular activities in academic success
In this project we looked at how extracurricular activities benefit academic success in elementary school kids. The research concluded that extracurricular activities have many benefits to academic success such as building teamwork, balance, and self esteem skills that transfer over to the classroom, which is significant because as educators, our main goal is for our students to succeed. Knowing the benefits of extracurricular activities in academic success helps us to provide students with opportunities to participate in out of school activities. Though there are limitations and considerations to take with every thing you do, the evidence still proves that it is important for young students to participate in extracurricular activities.
