In this 1 on 1, class we'll about a variety of nutrition-based topics and self-care strategies to better equip students to make their own healthy lifestyle choices.
During each meeting, we will cover a nutrition topic and a self-care topic. Students can choose to follow the listed topics or suggest/request something they are particularly interested in.
I am an energetic and goofy teacher😛.  I love to make sure my students feel heard 👂🏼 and included.  They’ll have ample opportunity to ask questions, share, and even introduce new or adjacent topics. Along with the fun, helpful slides and useful handouts, I include humor and brain🧠 breaks😴 in every class.
