Hello! My name is Ms. Burdett and I am the health teacher at David C. Barrow Elementary. I have been teaching at Barrow for 6 years and I absolutely love it. I get asked a lot 'what do students learn about in health class?'...well the answer is they learn about A LOT of different topics. Of course we discuss nutrition and the 5 food groups but we also learn about things such as families and relationships, feelings, teamwork, taking care of our great bodies, doctors and dentist, how to take care of our bodies when we are sick, safety, careers, being special, self image, and how our bodies work from the inside out. I am excited about this 2015-2016 school year and all of the exciting things it is going to bring.
Below are some resources for you to further explore some of the topics we talk about in health:
