What Health Ed looks like at the Elementary Level!

I was hired two weeks prior to the start of a school year five years ago now. I built an elementary curriculum from the ground up from resources far and wide. While it is far from perfect, it brings a unique approach to health education grades 1-5. Come see what you can take and fuse into your elementary curriculums through seeing elementary level health education. Everything from resources, lesson ideas, and more will be shared! Also an endless look at my personal library of health and wellness books that make great connections to emotions, sportsmanship, nutrition, mindfulness, and more! It’s a session that could benefit not only health teachers, but P.E. teachers, or anyone trying to advocate for an elementary curriculum.

Gym games for developing A lifelong Love of Being Active Outdoors in NH's Winter

Cross country skiing is a lifetime sport for everyone and with NH's snowy winters, a perfect activity to include in a school's physical education program. Sue Wemyss will discuss the programming that she and her employer, Great Glen Trails, offer to the local elementary and middle school children, including one in which the K-2nd graders ski at their own school playground. Learning the movements and acquiring the balance for the sport can begin on "dry" land, and Sue will lead attendees in some of these exercises. Cross country skiing is, above all, fun for kids, and with the simple ingredients of some very affordable equipment and snow, a positive, lifelong enjoyment for this activity is simply launched. This presentation includes hands-on participation; attendees will learn and perform indoor activities that help develop the skills kids need to succeed on the trails.

Traditional Social Dance

Take a group of kids or adults, add lively music, give a few directions and voila! A sense of community is created as we hook elbows and swing around one another, then do-si-do and sashay. Coming from a centuries-old tradition that is still done around the country, social dancing persists because, as you will experience in the workshop, it is fun, easy to do, for all ages and typically resonates on the physical, mental and emotional aspects of each person.

Healthy Relationships

Dating violence is defined as controlling, abusive, and aggressive behavior in a romantic relationship. One in three adolescents in the U.S. is a victim of physical, sexual, emotional or verbal abuse from a dating partner. It can happen in straight or gay relationships. It can include verbal, emotional, physical, and/or sexual abuse. Through the help of Tina E from Voices Against Violence, Newfound Regional High School has been able to educate students on how to recognize the red flags of abusive relationships and how to safely set boundaries within all relationships. Students are given tools and resources for self-care and taught skills for helping others through bystander intervention. These presentations also address bullying and sexual harassment, with an emphasis on communication, consent and personal respect. All lessons have been carefully designed to meet New Hampshire Health Education Standards and reinforce the lessons being taught through my curriculum.
