Thank you to Mitchell County Regional Health Center for putting on the 3rd grade Health Fair!

Health 1 students finished learning about mental and emotional health and well being, embracing their identity, building self-esteem, and expressing their emotions. They watched the movie "Inside Out", which is a great way to understand how emotions play off of each other, and ended the unit with "Creating a New Emotion" to add to the movie. The goal was for students to think about a different emotion and include a reason as to why they think it should belong
