Health will be taught monthly during the last gym class of the month.
The children will learn the different systems of the body and how they can keep each one functioning properly. They will also learn about personal hygiene and why it is important to keep yourself clean and safe. Also the children will learn what a healthy diet looks like and why it is important to eat healthy.
A comprehensive school health program at the elementary level should influence, in a positive way, knowledge, attitudes and behaviors, ultimately leading to an enhanced quality of life for students. Through the involvement of home, school and community, the comprehensive school health program should relate to every
aspect of a child’s life including: the physical, intellectual, emotional, social and
moral development.
Basic knowledge and skills, as well as a positive self-concept are necessary if an individual is to make wise health-related decisions. It is important to involve young people in a health program in a meaningful way so as to guide them in the development of healthy lifestyle practices. Through a comprehensive school health program children can become empowered to choose health-enhancing behaviors and to alter the environments that affect them.
