Fourth graders learn why sleep is so important — it helps their bodies grow, their brains focus, and their moods stay happy — and discover healthy habits that lead to good, restful sleep.
Students will be able to…
While you sleep, your body and brain do important work — growing, healing, and getting ready for a new day. Why is sleep so important, and how can you get good rest?
Project this and match each healthy sleep habit to why it helps — tap a habit, then tap how it helps.
Tap any phase to open the teacher moves and student actions.
While you sleep, your body does important work — what, and why does it matter?
