My Project
Health is a new class that has been added to my schedule, and I have enjoyed teaching students the importance of choices and the consequences that come with those choices, whether they be positive or negative. Through the health curriculum, I am able to teach life lessons about diet, exercise, emotions, and overall lifestyle, helping students develop habits that will benefit them in the long run.
The rolling cart, desktop organizer, and other storage items I have requested will help improve the organization of the classroom, creating a more structured and engaging learning environment where students can focus and participate effectively.
A well-organized space fosters better discussions, collaboration, and hands-on learning experiences. Additionally, I have requested craft materials and tools like glue sticks and scissors that will make the curriculum more interactive, engaging, and applicable to students’ everyday lives. By incorporating visual aids, hands-on activities, and real-world applications, I hope to inspire students to take an active role in their health and well-being.
My goal is to ensure that students leave this class with a solid foundation in making informed decisions about their health, understanding how their choices impact their future, and feeling empowered to lead healthy, balanced lives. By equipping the classroom with the necessary resources, I can create a dynamic learning environment that supports student success and encourages lifelong wellness habits.
More than half of students from low‑income households
