What Do You Want?

We're trying to brainstorm ways to make Current Health even more useful to you and your students. As a teacher, what's important to you? What do you like about Current HealthÑand what would you like to see more of? Please e-mail us at currenthealth@weeklyreader.com and let us know what you think!

 

Here's to a Healthy Autumn!

Inside the October 2009 issue of Current Health 2 you'll find feature articles on healthy school lunches, good sleep habits, and dating abuse. Other articles look at creativity, smoking, and antibiotic resistance.

Check out the Pulse section for a dose of health news your students can use, as well as our other monthly departments Safety Zone; What's Up, Doc?; ProjectHealth; and Get Up and Go! (Don't forget that you can download additional online-only Get Up and Go! materials to use with your students here).
