Benchmark - Wellness Fair
In this benchmark assignment, you will be planning a Wellness Fair for the
students and families of your kindergarten class. The Wellness Fair will
incorporate the mini-lesson plans you previously created in this course.
You will also create a digital invitation to the Wellness Fair.
*Part 1: Mini-Lessons Rationale*
In preparation for the Wellness Fair, review the health, nutrition, safety,
and fitness mini-lessons you designed throughout the course.
In 200 words, write a rationale explaining your instructional decisions for
each wellness lesson. Make sure to include how those decisions directly
support the characteristics and needs of the “Class Profile” students.
*Part 2: Wellness Fair Event Plan*
Health, safety, nutrition, and fitness are topics you have been teaching to
your kindergarten students through your mini-lessons; however, it is also
beneficial to educate the families on the same topics. Therefore, your goal
in this section is to design a wellness fair to educate the families on
these topics so they can support their children at home more successfully.
In order for the fair to be effective, you will need community support to
assist in providing educational booths in the areas of health, nutrition,
safety, and fitness. For this part of the assignment, you will create a
1,000 word plan outlining the wellness fair for your students’ families,
including how you will involve the community. Include the following in your
plan:
- Agenda: Outline the timing for each activity during the event in a
simple agenda format.
- Welcome: Briefly describe how you will introduce the event to all
participants.
- Opening Activity: Plan an opening activity for the families and
children that will explain the purpose of the wellness event with the
community and promote shared values and expectations in creating a healthy,
respectful, and challenging learning environment.
- Community Resource Booths: Outline four community resource booths that
will provide information on health, safety, nutrition, and fitness (one
booth per topic). Include a community resource you will invite to represent
the topic, 3-4 interesting and important statistics relating to the booth’s
topic and young children, and a 50-100 word description of why that topic
is important to the development of young children. Briefly describe how
each booth will address the needs of children in the class both with and
without exceptionalities, based on the “Class Profile.”
- Closing Activity: Plan a closing activity for the families and
children that employs strategies and opportunities to ensure future
collaboration with families while pursuing the well-being of students in
the areas of health, nutrition, safety, and fitness.
- Rationale: Write a 250-500 word rationale explaining how the Wellness
Fair supports collaboration between faculty, students, families, and the
larger community. In addition, discuss why this collaboration is vital to
promoting children’s development and learning, including children with
exceptionalities.
- Support your plan with 2-3 scholarly resources.
