Whats a GLE? It's not a TV show....

I wanted to take a moment to communicate the educational goals of health. For each unit, the state of Missouri had set what are called grade level expectations or gle's.   The state has gle's for every subject in every grade, they help to ensure that students are progressing in their understanding of a subject.  In my health class students are pre and post tested to ensure they understand the gle for each unit and to determine how far they have progressed in their understanding of a unit. All activities for each unit are designed to support this effort.  For example of the the gle's for the unit of consumer health and safety is identify health-related careers. Today we are exploring what types of services various medical professionals provide. Check back to see how we are addressing gle's going forward in health class.

Its Alive!!!

During a lesson in 6th hour on the gle, understand the effect of the collaboration of individuals, communities and government can have on the health of a community, while explaining what the purpose of a district was i.e. Lindbergh school district and Mehlville fire protection district. If you look you can see a representation of the Mississippi river, St Louis city and St. Louis county you can even see Lindbergh school district and Mehlville fire protection district. The students said it looked like a face so I added an eye and hair.  Alex asked if he could draw a body and I told him as long as it fit in with the gle. Part of what we discussed with the gle was community recycling so here he is. It is fun to see how students can conceptualize information and I was take the opportunity to reinforce the gle.

Video Games in Health?

One of the tool we use in health to master the grade level expectations is a website called studystack. Studystack allows me to make games with the terms and essential concepts for class. here is a game from the nutrition unit. Feel free to play, have fun...and learn.
