Grade 3 Health Curriculum

Scope and Sequence: There are a total of eight concepts that make up the health curriculum for grades 1-5. Below is an outline of the sequence in which these units are to be taught at each grade level. Please note that the recently revised state standards are written in grade level bands and thus allow us the opportunity to spend more time each year on specific core concepts as opposed to teaching each core concept every year. The number of times students will be exposed to a core concept during their elementary years is indicated by the number 2 or 3 following the core concept within each grade level and quarter.
