I taught elementary education for 20 years, and was the designated team teacher for health and social studies. I am also a health coach, and feel that it's never too early to improve one's health practices. Health awareness is a byproduct of this lesson. I am offering this class because our current society has many children suffering from illnesses that may be caused by lack of several things including whole foods, variety in their daily diet, exercise, and over or under eating. This lesson will help begin the process of assisting students in becoming proactive in favor of healthier choices of what they are going to eat. Learning these materials can help influence students into thinking of food differently, as well as, choosing in favor of consuming live foods more often.
4 files available upon enrollmentStudent Supplies: 1) Lined paper or journal - manilla or composition , 2) pencils with erasers, 3) crayons, 4) glue stick or stapler to attach sheets to journal 5) vocabulary sheet* (make at least 2 copies for our vocabulary word sheet), and 6) "Your" favorite snack.
There are no concerns with the materials being presented. Please feel free to let me know when your child signs up for the class if he or she child has any special circumstance that may need to be dealt with so that full accommodation can be planned for in advance. Additionally, there will be an additional information sheet for parents entitled "Note To Parents"written by the author of the story. The author's expressions give insights that may be helpful in assisting you and your child in making healthy, informed choices in the future.
Teaching health and wellness, vocabulary, and creative math are high on my agenda. I taught elementary level students at one of the first charter schools in Los Angeles for three years, and at an inner-city social justice magnet school for...
