The purpose of this unit is for the students to gain an understanding of how important staying healthy is for the mind. Their academic achievement is affected by what they put into their bodies, as well as how active they are. Another factor in their academic achievement is mood. If a student is in a bad mood, and has very low energy, their academic achievement will suffer. What is great about this unit is that the students will learn life long lessons and will be able to carry them over into their households and communities. Another great factor is that they will be taking this challenge alongside their teacher. My students love to hear about my life outside of the classroom, so by me sharing what I made for dinner and what I did at the gym, will motivate them into being more active and eating healthier.
