Body Signal HQ

This sequence guides 5th-grade students through recognizing internal body signals, maintaining hygiene, understanding the physical manifestations of emotions, and setting personal boundaries. It culminates in the creation of a personalized wellness 'User Manual' for their own bodies.

Hunger and Fatigue Signals

Students investigate biological signals for fuel and rest, differentiating between physiological needs and emotional wants using a 'dashboard' metaphor.

Daily Maintenance Lab

Students examine the science of sweat, bacteria, and skin health, developing personal hygiene routines that reflect their maturing bodies.

Emotion Mapping Studio

Students explore the mind-body connection by identifying somatic markers of emotions and practicing physical self-care techniques to address stress and anxiety.

Boundary Buffer Zone

Students define personal space and physical boundaries, practicing verbal and non-verbal communication skills to advocate for their comfort levels.

Wellness Protocol Project

Students synthesize their learning into a personalized 'User Manual' for their bodies, creating a tangible wellness protocol that lists daily non-negotiables and response strategies for warning signs.
