Carrollton Elementary – Montessori Upper Elementary Health

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Health Education for upper elementary students focuses on how they can assume more responsibility for their health, develop positive health behaviors, and prevent negative, unhealthy behaviors. Students will learn to practice safe behaviors, identify hazards and actions to remove those hazards from their surroundings, respond to emergencies, and develop conflict resolution skills, identify effects of drugs on the body, understand influences that promote drug use, and develop the skills needed to resist those influences. Note: After age 10 or the equivalent of 5th and 6th grade students will recognize treatments of major communicable and non-communicable diseases and practice good hygiene to prevent the spread of disease. The anatomy and physiology of the reproductive system will be introduced. Students will acquire, develop and refine their health related knowledge skills, attitudes, and behaviors.
