MHE Health and Wellness
About Health and Wellness
In wellness students will have opportunities to dive into the aspects of health, physical, mental/emotional, and social health. Students will focus on social and emotional health but I plan to work within all aspects throughout the year. Students will be given opportunities to then incorporate their new skills into real-world situations and make connections between their health triangle (aspects of health) and the 8 dimensions of wellness.
Health and wellness will focus on social-emotional learning and skills. Below is more information on the specifics including the CASEL wheel.
Essential skills for success make a difference. Research shows that an education that promotes SEL has a positive impact all aspects of health. In education it has shown higher academic performance, healthy relationships skills, mental wellness, and much more.
About Mrs. Kinsey
My name is Mrs. Kinsey and I am so lucky to be a teacher at Mammoth Heights.
I have been a teacher since 2006. I have taught physical education and health to Kindergarten through 12th graders. From Bennett to Kiowa and then to Douglas County at Mesa Middle School, my career has been in here Colorado and now I am so grateful to be at Mammoth. I LOVE teaching!
My family consists of my husband and our two sons Dakota and Billy. Dakota is in middle school and Billy is 26 and successful. We also have 3 dogs, Jaco, Zeus, and Tank who are incredibly spoiled and loved.
I enjoy water sports and being near the water, camping, and crafts. Exercise keeps my mind and body healthy and it is also another passion of mine.
I look forward to a great school year with the Mammoth Heights families, students, and community.
