I put my main focuses in this standard in bold. Health Education 4th grade, Standard 1:

The students will learn ways to improve mental health and manage stress.

Objective 1 : Demonstrate effective decision making based on positive self-worth.

Objective 2 : Practice constructive application of assertiveness.
Objective 3 : Set goals to enhance personal health

Objective 4 : Explore positive options for managing stress.

Identify characteristics of positive self-worth; e. g., ability to set goals, self-efficacy and values, physical, social, mental health. Apply the decision-making process; i. e. , identify the problem, gather information, identify alternatives, predict the immediate and long-term consequences, make the best choice, act, evaluate results. Identify factors that may influence decision making; e. g., media, peers, environment, self-worth.

Describe assertiveness. Predict the results of assertive communication. Use assertive communication in role play.

Recognize how physical, mental, and social health interrelate. Evaluate personal health in each of these areas.

Define stress. Identify behaviors or situations that may cause conflict or stress. Create a personal stress management plan.

Ed-Tech Standard 5: Use technology tools (e.g., multimedia authoring, presentation, web tools, digital cameras, scanners) for individual and collaborative writing, communication, and publishing activities to create knowledge products for audiences inside and outside the classroom. (3, 4)

Reflection

I created the Pinterest board in order to teach students about staying mentally/emotionally healthy, and to continue to live a happy life. I also added some fun and calming exercises that students could do as an activity in class.  Some of the pins on the board contain stories, lessons, and activities that could be used as an entire lesson plan. Using pinterest is not hard, 4th graders could start using this type of media to gather things that may be interested in. I already use Pinterest almost every day and I really enjoy it! I think that it has a lot of opportunity to find everything and anything that a teacher or student would need and it is a good source of online media. I had absolutely no complaints about this website. Highly recommended!
