Health Education (2019) Grade(s): KG
Explain why healthy behaviors such as brushing teeth and getting adequate sleep are important.
Overview
Elementary-aged students learn to take responsibility for their own hygiene and self-care behaviors. Images of astronauts and space travel are ideal to engage the young learner in personal health content. This teaching technique is compatible with the National Health Education Standards One and Three. There are three lesson objectives. Students will: 1) Understand that germs spread infections, illness, and disease; 2) Identify practices that promote health and prevent disease; 3) Demonstrate good personal health habits including hand washing before eating and brushing teeth.
This alignment results from the ALEX Health/PE COS Resource Alignment Summit.
