Health for Grades 3-5

Grade 4 · 180 pages · 38 lessons · PDF, print at home

A semester-long health course for grade 4 delivered at home with a parent nearby. Students build a working model of their body as a system they can care for: fuel, rest, and movement first, then the germs and hygiene practices that keep that system well, then the safety rules that protect it from outside harm, and finally the feelings and friendship skills that let them handle hard moments with people. Each unit is concrete, home-practicable, and checked against real routines the child already lives inside. No content on weight, appearance, or human sexuality.
