This new unit focuses on our personal, physical, mental, social, and spiritual health. This is a great unit for 1st graders! This week we are focusing on what does it mean to be healthy. The writing in the purple is what the students came up with, after we read the book we circled that facts that were the same. Today our comprehension focus was on topic, main idea, and details. We read a story called MyPlate... about the 5 major food groups. Students then created a graphic organizer about the story.
Talk with your child about what it means to be healthy in your home. Also, next week we will be setting goals to accomplish in the next 5 weeks. Some examples of goals might be: read 20 minutes a night, eat a vegetable for lunch and dinner, walk 5 minutes... (these goals will have to be obtainable with the help of you at home)... talk with your child about a goal that they might want to set.
