My Health class reaches 260 students each year, and my students need to learn healthy nutritional habits! I like to use a variety of resources to motivate my students. We study Nutrition for five weeks each semester, and we need posters and PowerPoint presentations to help inspire lifelong health.
We are a Title I school with 42% of students getting a free or reduced lunch.
Because of dedicated teachers and amazing students, we are also a California Distinguished School and a Schools To Watch model middle school! My students are used to working hard and rising to the challenges they face. They enjoy learning and demonstrating their knowledge in unconventional ways, and they really shine when they have access to a variety of resources! The success they achieve in meeting my high standards motivates them to work even harder, then they achieve even more success. It's a great cycle, especially because healthy habits will make a lifelong impact!
My Project
These materials will make a big impact on my students! The PowerPoint presentations will integrate technology as my students learn about fast food nutrition, energy drinks, and the "MyPlate" program. The PowerPoint clicker will allow me to move around the classroom and stay in close proximity to my students as I present each lesson. Each PowerPoint presentation also has a corresponding poster that will reinforce student learning throughout our five-week Nutrition unit. Together, these resources will create an integral part of our Nutrition curriculum!
It is very difficult to find engaging materials about nutrition!
My students need access to posters and PowerPoint presentations in order to get the most out of our five-week Nutrition unit. The more resources we can use, the better! These materials will help them complete their Nutrition projects and activities as well as inspiring them to establish healthy eating habits. Thank you for supporting student learning and lifelong health!
