6th Grade
6th grade Health & Wellness is co-taught by two teachers, Mrs. Fought and myself. Students measure ingredients, use kitchen vocabulary, prepare food working in groups, and learn about nutrition. Students also participate in Change The Play, a fitness program by Riley Children's Health, and they learn about the parts of health and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
7th Grade
In the 7th grade Health & Wellness classes I teach, students discover how many of the body systems work: digestive, respiratory, skeletal, muscular, urinary, endocrine, and circulatory. They also are trained in Red Cross CPR, use of an AED, and First Aid.
8th Grade
In my 8th grade Health & Wellness classes, students process and respond to information on alcohol abuse, drug abuse, and infectious and noninfectious diseases.
