Reflection

This curriculum map was based off of a 1st grade class. This class is designed to meet the

needs of diverse learners. These lessons are to be focused on during their month. Throughout

the year, we want to focus on healthy learning and enhancing all of the students experience. By

implementing these fun and informal lessons, students can grasp a healthy lifestyle and are

encouraged to carry this with them in their future.

Each month we focus on something different. There are going to be students that will

grasp onto one idea and concept better than others. However, this is designed to meet the

students of a diverse environment. If a student is physically unable to participate in the first

month of activities, they can be the leaders and help the instructor to lead. They are also able to

still answer the problems and work with others. These health lessons encourage students to

stay healthy and make healthy lifestyle decisions. They are vital to todays education and should

be implemented in schools!
