• Fourth-Grade Health Learning Objectives

     
    The mission of the third- through fifth-grade health curriculum is to provide learning experiences that are relevant to students’ current lives and build a foundation for future health decisions. It impacts the development of the whole child: physical, emotional, mental and social.Such a curriculum requires a partnership among professional educators,parents and members of the broader community. An effective comprehensive health curriculum equips students with information, resources and skills. Additionally, it helps them develop attitudes necessary to choose healthy lifestyles, to become discriminating consumers of health information and products, and to empower themselves for a lifetime of wellness and productivity.
