Youtube: Being Healthy and Safe

I put my main focuses in this standard in bold. Integrated Core Content 1st grade, Standard 1:

Students will develop a sense of self

Objective 1 : Describe and practice responsible behaviors for health and safety.

Objective 2 : Develop and demonstrate skills in gross and fine motor movement.

Objective 3 : Develop and use skills to communicate ideas, information, and feelings.

• Practice appropriate personal hygiene (e.g., bathe, wash hands, clean clothes). Describe the benefits of eating a variety of nutritious foods. Describe the benefits of physical activity. Describe substances that are helpful and harmful to the body. Practice basic safety and identify hazards.
• Participate daily in short periods of physical activity that require exertion (e.g., one to three* minutes of walking, jogging, jump roping). Perform fundamental locomotor (e.g., skip, gallop, run) and nonlocomotor (twist, stretch, balance) skills with mature form. Develop manipulative skills (e.g., cut, glue, throw, catch, kick, strike). Create and perform unique dance movements and sequences that strengthen skills while demonstrating personal and spatial awareness.
• Recognize and express feelings in a variety of ways (e.g., draw, paint, tell stories, dance, sing). Express how colors, values, and sizes have been controlled in artworks to create mood, tell stories, or celebrate events. Sing a melody independently, with developing accuracy and a natural voice that is free from strain. Create simple rhythm, movement, and melody patterns with body percussion and instruments.

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)

This tool is useful for any teacher that is wanting another form of a visual aid for students. This helps students to learn at home watching instructional, educational, and also for some entertainment. This is media that is easy to use for teachers and students to make projects in the classroom. I will use this as a tool for storytelling and songs for younger grades, and as a project/teaching tool for older grades. This is the easiest website to use and navigate, but there are boundaries that need to be set to inhibit searching for inappropriate content, or accidentally stumbling upon something that was not wished to be seen.
