Description

This dynamic resource will help classroom teachers jump start their students on a path to a healthy lifestyle. The author helps us understand the obesity crisis and offers practical ideas for incorporating wellness initiatives into the elementary curriculum. Each idea presented has a clear learning objective, addresses federal health standards, and includes a step-by-step approach with activities for the classroom. This hands-on, comprehensive book provides a set of tools that will help teachers and health practitioners improve the eating habits and exercise patterns of youngsters nationwide.

Unlike other health curricula,Jump Start Health!is unique because it provides teaching materials that:

Ask a range of critical thinking questions.
Encourage collaboration and community building.
Embody the National Education Standards and National Health Standards.
