Assignment:
Powerpoint
You are a pre-kindergarten teacher in a school that houses pre-kindergartners through 3rd-graders, many of whom come from low-SES families. It is your turn to plan the school's quarterly Family Night, which is meant to both educate and entertain students, their parents, and their siblings. As you ponder the theme to use for Family Night, one of your students, a chubby boy named Michael, tells you his parents promised him a pound-bag of candy if they get a good report about his classroom behavior. You decide your theme is "Strong! Healthy! Superheroes!" You focus your opening informative talk on strategies for maintaining a healthy body weight as outlined in the NCFELD and Common Core State Standards and NC's Essential Standards (NCFELD p.19). You will consider the alignment between NCFELD and Common Core as they relates to the following goals:
NCFELD Health and Physical Development (HPD)
Physical Health and Growth
Goal HPD-1: Children develop healthy eating habits.
Goal HPD-2: Children engage in active physical play indoors and outdoors.
Goal HPD-3: Children develop healthy sleeping habits.
Common Core State Standards and NC's Essential Standards
Healthful Living
Health Education
Personal and Consumer Health
Nutrition and Physical Activity Fitness
