LAYTON — Teaching kids how to keep their bodies healthy is important, and a program through SelectHealth now offers a fun way to learn about physical and mental health inside the classroom.
The program is called B3 Kids, brain-body boost. It's a free, school-based physical activity program integrated with Utah's Health Education Core Curriculum. "It's there to help teachers introduce really important health education into the classroom," Dawn Wright, director of community and public relations at SelectHealth, said."Each one comes with multiple different games or puzzles to reinforce those concepts and the majority of it is up and moving around," Jennifer Brawn said. She's a 5th and 6th-grade special education teacher at King Elementary.
"We have sets of basketballs and footballs that we have purchased through the program that I didn't have to use my own personal money for and the kids are excited that the points are valuable," Brawn said."Things I have learned is just getting my brain super-duper smart," 6th-grade student Lorenzo Gonzales said.Brawn said she has encouraged other teachers to utilize this program.
