About this resource
What's inside this resource
Third graders learn a four-step decision tool, Notice, Options, Reason and Check, and apply it to six personal health topics: clean hands before eating, daily movement, food variety and allergies, sleep and quiet rest, purposeful media use, and improving a goal with evidence. Page 1 models the tool with a short story: Jo finds soil on both hands before lunch, chooses soap and water over wiping on a shirt, then checks that the dirt is gone.
Later pages mix short math with health facts. Students find how many more active minutes reach the 60-minute daily goal for ages 6 to 17, work out whether a child who sleeps from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. falls within the 9 to 12 hours recommended for ages 6 to 12, and plan a stopping point for tablet use. On page 6, students read Sam's three-try record for an active break and revise the plan. A three-task review page uses a 10-point guide, and a two-page answer guide gives sample answers for all 21 tasks. The teacher plan cites the CDC, USDA and AAP pages used for the facts.

Use a four-step decision tool to choose and check a helpful health action.
Explain why hands are washed before eating and describe the full handwashing routine.
Calculate active minutes toward a 60-minute daily goal.
Teaching tips
Demonstrate handwashing with the Notice, Options, Reason, Check tool on page 1 before students start the tasks, as the teacher plan suggests.
Model one example, such as 25 + 15 + 10 = 50, before students complete the active-minutes task on page 2.
Use a clock or timeline for the page 4 sleep task, which crosses midnight.
Skills covered
Decision making: students work through Notice, Options, Reason and Check, such as finding another place to wash when a sink has no soap.
Physical activity: students sort brisk wheeling and energetic seated dancing as active movement and add minutes toward 60.
Nutrition and allergies: students name a vegetable and fruit to add to rice and beans and explain why an adult, not a tiny bite, checks an unlabeled food.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
What decision-making model does the unit use?
A four-step tool: Notice what is needed, list Options, give a Reason for the choice, and Check whether it helped. Page 1 introduces it with a worked handwashing example.
Is there an answer key?
Yes. Pages 9 and 10 give sample answers for all 21 tasks and a 10-point guide for the three review tasks.
Does the unit ask students to share their own health habits?
No. The tasks use fictional characters, and the teacher plan states that no child must disclose private habits, diagnoses or home circumstances.
Can students answer orally?
Yes. The teacher plan allows directions to be read aloud and answers to be discussed or scribed.
