Class overview

In 6th grade health topics include learning about how to access valid and reliable information to enhance healthy eating behaviors. This allows students the opportunity to learn how to read food labels, understand nutritional information, and learn what kinds of foods their bodies need. Students also take a dive into learning about the aspects of health that allow an individual to be a well person. Students also look at understanding and analyzing the causes, symptoms, and effects of anxiety and depression. One of our bigger units is Draw The Line, which focuses on students being able to set limits, resist peer pressure, and practice refusal skills in a nonsexual context. Our class also focus on many other aspects of health!
