Health Resource for Students and Teachers


Over the last few years, I have been working as a long-term substitute primarily in grades K-2. Often, I am looking for online resources to assist students in many areas of learning. Through my searching, I found a terrific site for students and teachers who would like information on health called BAM! Body and Mind. It was developed by the CDC. It is designed to be a health information resource for students and their teacher so sections of the site deal with nutrition, exercise, disease control, and staying safe while enjoying all kinds of sports and activities. Other topics include emotional issues, social issues (bullying) and puberty.

The site also offers a teacher's section with lesson plans, activities, and down-loadable resources available in printer-friendly pdf format.

Everyone knows that time is limited in class so this would make a terrific student and parent resource to use outside of the classroom. This way both student and parent are learning together.
