Health Issues

About This Daily Classroom Special 
Each week Homework Hotline will suggest homework assignments aimed at grades K-1 and 2-3. Homework Hotline was written by Buzz Eyler, Director of Educational Technology
at the Orcutt School District ( CA) and a former Teachers Network web mentor.

Health Issues

This week the homework will center on health issues activities. The activities are appropriate for K-3, except as noted. Feel free to copy, cut, and paste the assignments into your own word processor for sending home (or print this page).

Day 1

This is the time of year when many children get sick. Ask the children to make a list this evening of as many sicknesses as they can think of. Bring the list to school tomorrow and make a class list.

Day 2

Ask the children to pick five of the illnesses they wrote about last night and write (or dictate) how to get over those illnesses.

Day 3

Some illnesses are so bad that people have to go to the hospital. Make a list of as many people as they can think of who work in a hospital.

Day 4

Medicine is something which helps us get well. Have the children, with their parent's help, make a list of medicines in their home.
