Unit 2 — My Body, My Movement & My Growing Self
Overview
This unit returns to the body with new precision, building on Grade 5’s mind–body connection. Learners explain how emotions and body sensations connect — such as stress and tension — and name one way to release tension, learn a new movement skill, such as a dance step or sport skill, through practice, feedback, and correction, and work cooperatively with teammates, sharing roles and encouraging others regardless of skill level. The rapid, uneven growth of these years is met with dignity and joy, never shame, and the wide range of bodies and abilities is honored throughout.
Essential questions
- How do my emotions and my body talk to each other, and how do I release tension?
