Know Your Body

Know Your Body (KYB) is a comprehensive health education curriculum for grades K-6. A skills and standards-based curriculum aligned to the national health education model, Know Your Body conforms to state grade level expectations.

Easy to implement, with wonderful learning activities and extension activities for integrating health education into the general curriculum, this is an outstanding choice for elementary health education. It is highly interactive. It encourages parent and community involvement and is easily integrated into other subject areas.

The program stresses individual responsibility for health and lays a firm foundation for making health-promoting and disease-preventing decisions. Each grade level has 12 modules with the same subject focus, but different lessons, enabling continuous exposure and scaffolding of concepts, knowledge and skills across grade levels. Behavioral goals are geared toward outcomes that children of this age can realistically affect, such as breakfast and snack choices, and asking adults to not smoke in their presence.

PLEASE BRING one grade level of materials if possible.

• Age-appropriate teacher’s guides (grades K-6)
• Student master sheets (grades K-3)
• Student activity books (grades 4-6)
• A class Big Book (grade 1)
• Puppet sets (grades K-3)
