Reading
Students in Mrs. Ariens' Reading classes learned about rubrics. After learning what they are, why they are important, and how to use one, they created a rubric for assessing 3 different crackers and then used the rubric to judge the best cracker.
Health
This week in Mr. Laughlin's Health class, students explored Total Health and how different areas of health work together to affect overall well-being.
- Physical Health – We discussed taking care of our bodies through healthy nutrition, physical activity, sleep, hygiene, and making healthy choices.
- Social Health – We learned how relationships, communication, friendships, respect, and positive interactions with others contribute to our overall health.
- Mental Health – We explored the importance of managing emotions and stress, developing a positive mindset, and recognizing ways to maintain good mental and emotional well-being.
Students learned that total health involves balancing physical, social, and mental health, and that choices in one area can affect the others.
