Next week will be yet another busy one in health class! The sixth graders have wrapped up the Mental and Emotional health unit. Next week they will begin the fitness unit. They will be learning about the importance of exercise for an overall healthy lifestyle. The seventh graders have their tobacco unit test on Monday. With the tobacco unit ending, next up is learning about alcohol. Students will learn what alcohol does to the body- both short and long term. They will also learn ways to resist peer pressure. The eighth graders took their nutrition unit test this week. We have started a unit on death and dying. Next week as part of the curriculum, they will be watching the movie Tuesdays with Morrie. If any parents have not seen the movie, I would highly recommend it! It is a great discussion starter on the topic of death and grief.
