Big Idea that drives Lesson/Unit:


My big idea is Health & Fitness. Its important for students to learn how to live
a happy and healthy lifestyle. Physical health and mental health are both equally
important and so Ive incorporated both into my curriculum. When I was in primary
school, we didnt have a specified health course other than gym class. I believe its
important to incorporate all groups of health into every grade level.
Key concepts about Big Idea:
I want my students to feel confident as well as challenged in my curriculum of
health and fitness,
Health is very important for a happy and healthy lifestyle.
Letting the students have an opinion in my curriculum instruction helps their
confidence and gets them more interested in the curriculum.

Breakfast cereal (or just cereal) is a food made from processed grains that is
often eaten as the first meal of the day. It is eaten hot or cold, usually mixed with
milk, yogurt, or fruit. Some companies promote their products for the health
benefits from eating oat-based and high-fiber cereals. In America, cereals are often
fortified with vitamins. A significant proportion of cold cereals are made with high
sugar content. Many breakfast cereals are produced via extrusion.
