Health 6, taught by Mrs. Vorse

In 6th grade students meet every other day for one semester. The curriculum follows a research-based program for developing adolescents, focusing on issues of self-management, hygiene, self-esteem, bullying, growth and development, dealing with changes, decision making and risky behaviors. HIV and AIDS mandated programs are also incorporated. Through worksheets and projects, students will be given time to practice and reflect on a variety of life-skills associated with the items listed above. They will be required to maintain a folder for assignments and papers, and will receive a letter grade based upon class participation, homework, projects and cooperation with in-class activities. Since we meet every other day, this grade will not be on the report card until the 2nd quarter they are in class.
