Grade 4 and 5 Health Education Class Expectations

Our Health classes get to meet once a week through out the year and we get to incorporate our School Guidance Counselor into the pattern once a month. We will be involved in a multitude of activities, discussions, videos and quizzes during our classes. We ask that our students be very respectful to each other during our units because we want to create an environment that is honest, healthy and safe for all our students to participate. Our goal for these classes is for the students to learn and develop healthy habits to help them reach and maintain wellness for themselves through out their lives

The units we cover are as follows: Exercise, Stay Drug Free, Digestive System, Nutrition, Dental Health, Community Safety, Be Cool Keep Clean, First Aid, Emotions, Brain and Central Nervous System and many more topics get discussed in class.

In Fifth grade around the end of May we begin to cover the Human Growth Unit. We will send a letter home for student participation and a description of what is to be covered in class. Our focus is on the changes that will be occurring as your child goes through Puberty.
