Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Identify daily habits as healthy or unhealthy

  • Sort foods into healthy and unhealthy categories

  • State a personal health goal in writing or drawing

Teaching tips

  • Use the food sort page as a hands-on cut-and-paste center rather than a worksheet completed at a desk

  • Read the Pete the Pig story aloud before the hygiene sequencing page so students have the narrative fresh for ordering the steps

  • Save the goal-setting page to revisit later in the unit or year to check whether students met their stated goal

Skills covered

  • Food classification — students cut and sort pictures of foods into healthy and unhealthy columns.

  • Habit evaluation — students label eight daily behaviors, such as brushing teeth or eating cookies for dinner, as healthy or unhealthy.

  • Goal setting — students write or draw one personal health goal, such as brushing twice daily.
