Early elementary years are perfect for instilling healthy habits
in children--and "The Healthy Eating and Active Time Club
Curriculum: Teaching Children to Live Well" offers you the
resources and tools you need to instill those healthy habits.
The text helps children understand what a healthy diet is and
how to stay physically active every day. The children learn how to
make healthier nutrition and activity choices, and they discover
how healthy eating and regular physical activity keep them feeling
their best.
"The Healthy Eating and Active Time Club Curriculum: Teaching
Children to Live Well" comes with a web resource that contains two
sections. The first section supplies many reproducibles, including
activity and food cards, worksheets, separate activity books for
grades 1 to 3, and Cool Moves, which are warm-up and cool-down
exercises for use in the classroom. This section also offers a
chart that details how the curriculum meets Massachusetts state
education standards (which have incorporated the common core
standards) in English language arts; math; comprehensive health;
history and social science; arts; and science, technology, and
engineering.
The second section of the web resource contains a detailed book
called "After-School HEAT Club Curriculum." This web book
reinforces the print book's material and contains lessons and
activities for after-school programs that extend the classroom
learning and bring that learning to life. These activities include
art projects, active games, food activities (including using
healthy recipes), and ways to educate the entire family about
healthy living.
