http://www.pbs.org/teachers/classroom/6-8/health-fitness/resources/

high school:

http://www.pbs.org/teachers/classroom/9-12/health-fitness/resources/

you have to navigate a bit, but within minutes i was finding awesome material.

xo internet. xo

ha ha. yeah, kids are great! i hope everyone is surviving! i've wanted to post so many times and then find myself ITCHING for more time! but, it's time. here are some websites that i L O V E. they have saved me so many times with lesson planning.

http://kidshealth.org/classroom/

that one has lesson plans on it!!! woot woot.

http://kidshealth.org/teen/

that one you can copy and paste info straight from the source! it was made for teens. awesome, awesome.

http://www.choosemyplate.gov/myplate/index.aspx

that one is a personalized nutrition plan. and it's FREE!! if you did that plus this one...

http://www.webmd.com/diet/healthtool-fitness-calorie-counter

it would be a great day in the computer lab. i don't know about you, but i love the computer lab.

also, for any of you sick of the kids making posters, have you heard of http://edu.glogster.com/? it's an on-line poster website. and it's specifically for educators. it's great! would be SUPER fun to do a positivity lesson and have the kids make positivity posters. also, if you have makes with camera's at your school, the students LOVE using the cameras. have them take pictures and put them on the posters! but, you'll have to teach them how to do it first. not everyone is as computer savy as we all now are. thank you ip&t.

here's a fun idea for optimism...do you think you could do this another way in your classroom???

and another...you'd have to cut it off before he starts talking about God, but it's great!

also, want a good video about the media??

hope something helped ya! xo

Okay so this website is awesome: http://www.myfoodapedia.gov.
You could do a great activity with this.

I've created a worksheet students would fill out for an individual meal.

Nutrition Unit Ideas

We'll be starting our nutrition unit in a few weeks (woo-hoo!) and I'd love to hear your ideas on your intro to nutrition, tracking your diet ideas, and how you addressed portion size vs serving size.
