As you saw in our last post, we dove into making healthy choices in regards to food, exercise, and sleep. However, we all know that there's more to it than just choose veggies over chips.
We used so many resources from asklistenlearn.org! Their presentation of the info is done so with real thought to the intended audience. I had a couple of teachers say that they'd have a difficult time having such a heavy conversation with their kiddos...but I was quick to inform them that these resources are WICKED COOL!
I gave them the choice to write about what they learned. They chose from the list of options and went from there! Their work is very impressive. Mind you, much of this was done in the afternoon after mornings of state assessments...so you can imagine the brain power it took. We were ALL exhausted!
I challenged them to have discussions at home and even got a couple of messages thanking me for sharing the resources with families. They would not have known how to approach the topic without them...so I'm glad we have this partnership and are able to share such valuable and meaningful conversations with our kiddos.
Here are a few entries...I have a zillion more as many of them chose to do more than one option on the list!
