Letter to Teachers from Parent Date: _________________ Dear _____________________________, (child’s teacher) I have recently found an educational web-based instructional module that you may be interesting in incorporating into your curriculum at school. The website, Healthy Hearts, uses the Internet to teach children about the benefits of physical activity, nutrition, and tobacco avoidance to promote good health. Healthy Hearts has four topic areas: About the Heart, Movin' & Groovin', Eatin' Right, and Bye, Bye Tobacco. Each topic area gives students opportunities to complete interactive tasks, take quizzes, complete writing and math activities, and ask experts questions. In addition, children are encouraged to complete daily logs of their physical activity and diet intake for which they receive immediate feedback to applaud their reports or to help them make wiser decisions the following day. The module, developed by leading professionals in the fields of physical education and health education, meets a number of national content standards for 5th and 6th graders in health, technology, math, language arts, geography, and physical education, as identified on the website. Healthy Hearts is a school-based program, so children must be registered by their teachers in order to participate in the module. If you are interested, you can learn more about Healthy Hearts by going to the website at http://healthyhearts4kids.org, and clicking on “teachers”.
