Teacher+Resources

Many of these sites were helpful for me in planning this weeks lesson plan and they may help you, too! Enjoy! This website, [|Kids Health in the Classroom], provides many different topics of issues that are related to health in kids. The website provides several activities as well as handouts and quizzes that may be useful in the classroom.

Check out these games on [|Nutrition and Exercise] and other activities that I found my students to have enjoyed! The games are fun yet educational, something that benefits our students as well as us as teachers!

I also recommend this site, [|Staying Healthy]. It is a site that both teachers and students can refer to and read articles pertaining to their health and bodies. Teachers can also visit this site ( [|Cosmeo)] and search health related topics and watch lots of videos on the importance of exercise, self management, personal health issues, relationships, and self-esteem.

One of the sites that I found to be of the most help and assistance (as well as quality information) is [|MyPyramid].

It is very important for students and young children all around the world to have a good understanding of the reasons why diet and nutrition are two of the most important factors when it comes to living a healthy and active lifestyle. [|Fitness and Mind for Kids] is a website with valuable information that can help students and their parents find new and exciting exercises and meals to keep staying active enjoyable for the entire family.

As we all know, there are many different activities that anyone can do in order to get their full amount of exercise needed. [|79 Ways For Kids to Exercise] is a great website for students to visit and find out all the variations of exercise available (even though they may seem like play activities). [|Kidspiration] was a great site for my students to use to organize their ideas and answers to the activities they were given throughout the week.

One last site that I found could be helpful for teachers around the country to use is [|MrGym]. This site gives hundreds of games and activities that we as teachers can use throughout the day that will not only provide the students with activity and get them out of sitting in the classroom, but they will also learn why getting active is important for their bodies.
