Grade 2 & 3: In May, we will begin our Physical Health unit. Students will learn how all food gives us energy and understand that we all have different taste buds and experience – Remember, don’t yuck someone’s yum! We will also learn about healthy hygiene practices and understand how body boundaries help keep us healthy and safe.
Grade 4: Students recently reviewed healthy hygiene practices and the immune system. This month, we will understand the importance of growing healthy self-esteem in ourselves and promoting positive body image in our community. Students will also practice different stress relief strategies and identify which strategy works best for them.
5th Graders are finishing up their Media & Mental Health project to showcase their understanding of the media’s effect on young people’s mental health and self esteem. As we enter Mental Health Awareness Month, students will be identifying the difference between mental health and mental illness as well as learn healthy self care strategies! Be on the lookout for a caregiver letter that will share more about our Mental Health Unit.
