Unit 8 — Healthy, Safe & Strong
Overview

Learners build a simple balanced meal by choosing foods from several groups, explain the importance of drinking water, explain why handwashing, tooth-brushing, and rest help prevent sickness, and identify trusted adults at home and school to ask for help. The body is taught with dignity, never shame, and the wide range of bodies and ways of eating is honored.
