Classroom Guidance Wellness Unit:

Four Complete Lessons for Sixth Graders

Wellness Unit Rationale/Purpose

When I was a sixth grade teacher for one of the most successful school districts in the state of Virginia, I asked one of my classes if they could tell me about the five food groups. I was astonished and highly concerned when the majority of the class had no idea what I was talking about. Perhaps within this particular school district, the food groups and the food pyramid are not taught until the sixth grade or even later in health or physical education classes. Or, maybe this specific class is full of slower, “not very good” students. Either way, when considering the more recent epidemic of childhood obesity in America and its effects on student wellness, students, like these sixth graders, must be more aware of what “wellness” is and how to achieve it.

According to a recent study, “the incidence of overweight children aged between six to eleven years has more than doubled while the incidence for adolescents from age twelve to nineteen has tripled between 1980 and 2000 (Harper, 2006).” Although this may seem to be more of a health field issue, because ninety-five percent of all children and adolescents attend school, taking up most of their time, school systems are being held partially responsible for causing and solving/preventing this problem.

Within a school system, there are many resources that may be utilized to help diagnose, cure, and prevent childhood obesity. It is more obvious that physical education teachers and cafeteria managers can play a vital role in changing the attitudes and physical aspects of a particular student population. However, school counselors can and should play a significant role in addressing childhood obesity. “Obesity places children at risk of, not only physical, but also mental and social health disorders (Harper, 2006).” For this very reason, students need school counselors to help them, support them, and prevent them from the many various possible issues related to childhood obesity.
