NCFELD Health and Physical Development (HPD) 

You are a pre-kindergarten teacher in a school that houses pre-kindergartners through 3rd-graders, many of whom come from low-SES families. It is your turn to plan the school’s quarterly Family Night, which is meant to both educate and entertain students, their parents, and their siblings. As you ponder the theme to use for Family Night, one of your students, a chubby boy named Michael, tells you his parents promised him a pound-bag of candy if they get a good report about his classroom behavior. You decide your theme is “Strong! Healthy! Superheroes!” You focus your opening informative talk on strategies for maintaining a healthy body weight as outlined in the NCFELD and Common Core State Standards and NC’s Essential Standards (NCFELD p.19). You will consider the alignment between NCFELD and Common Core as they relates to the following goals:
