I teach 44 fifth-grade students in a rural/suburban area. They are great kids who are motivated and strive to excel. Sometimes I feel that their level of participation and their performance in class is not up to their potential (especially in the afternoons and after lunch). I think that one contributing factor in this is that they are not eating the healthiest lunches possible and some are not getting enough physical activity during the day and over the course of the week. I hope to inspire the children to make some changes to their diets and activity levels with my science unit on exercise and nutrition. I want them to see that both of these factors affect their attention, focus, and learning, in addition to keeping their bodies healthy.
