Check-In with everyone
Hello! July's theme is INDEPENDENCE!
High Priority Vocab - Writing Checks
Use your knoweldge of number words to complete *these checks correctly. If you got the printed packet you can write on your worksheet. If you are not a writer you can still learn about what goes on a check and where.
Show and Share Healthy Foods
So today we're talking health promoting foods, healthy life styles. What is your favorite nutritious snack or meal? Do you have one to show us? Or do you have a picture? What's healthful about this food? What do you like about it?
Tomorrow's Show & Share will be a demonstration. We want to learn how to stand up for our friends. If people are gossiping or saying mean things about your friend in front of you when your friend is not there, what can you do or say to show your disapproval?

Chat about these topics based on what you like or applies to your life and knowledge.
PRESENTERS: Read the questions and choose among them. Some may lead to more discussion. Let the group take it where they naturally go.

Health Assessment
Let's get to know one another a little better.
PRESENTERS: Use this sheet to guide a discussion and help people learn more about one another
*Getting to Know You worksheet
This guide helps us know where we are starting out with our health. Let's agree on what the words "always," "sometimes," and "never" mean.
PRESENTERS: Review the items as a survey in the group. Teach participants how surveys are different from quizzes. There are no right or wrong answers because we are just learning about the reality of each person's lifestyle.
This guide is a lot like the fitness vision boards we discussed two weeks ago. But it's more personal.
PRESENTERS: Remind everyone that goals don't have to be IMPROVEMENTS or CORRECTIONS. We can have goals that are just maintenance or trying something new. AND we can have mental and emotional health goals too. Our bodies and minds TOGETHER make up our health.
Let's make it bigger!
Planet Earth is not so healthy lately. Our planet has gunk in the rivers and oceans, gunk in the air, and gunk in the soil. Human beings have been making Earth less healthy with things like plastic we throw away, food that is made of chemicals, and using gas and oil to get energy instead of solar, wind and other power sources.
When a person has gunk in their body, gunk in their environment, and gunk in their diet, fitness coaches and doctors recommend they change things.
If you were a fitness coach for planet Earth, what would you recommend to Earth to get her health back? How could WE help planet Earth to get her fitness back? What small habit change can you make today that will be good for the environment AND your health?
