About this resource
What's inside this resource
Second graders practice everyday personal health habits across five short lessons: caring for hands and teeth, adding food variety and water, balancing movement with rest and sleep, naming feelings and asking a trusted adult for help, and setting a small goal. Each lesson page opens with a brief Learn box, then gives three tasks, such as putting handwashing steps in order, adding a fruit and a vegetable to a meal, or helping a character named Ari choose a safe action after a block tower falls.
A practice page asks students to try their goal three times and keep a short record of what happened and what help they used, or to work from a short story about remembering a water cup. A five-task review page follows, scored with a 10-point guide. The teacher plan suggests five 15 to 20 minute lessons, lists the CDC, ADA, AAP and NIMH pages used for the health facts, and explains how to accept oral, pointed or scribed answers.
