What This Document Is
This document outlines the plan for a Benchmark Wellness Fair project completed as part of ECS 555: Child Development Including Health, Safety, and Nutrition at Grand Canyon University. It details the rationale behind mini-lessons designed for a kindergarten classroom, and provides a full agenda for a school-wide Wellness Fair event. This project was completed on October 20, 2021.
Why This Document Matters
This document is intended for students enrolled in ECS 555, specifically as a demonstration of their ability to plan and organize a health and wellness event for young children and their families. It serves as a culminating assessment of course concepts related to child development, health, safety, and nutrition. Educators and school administrators could also use this as a template for planning similar events.
Common Limitations or Challenges
This document is a *plan* for a Wellness Fair, not a comprehensive guide to health education or event management. It does not include the full content of the mini-lessons themselves, detailed budgetary information, or a post-event evaluation. It is a snapshot of the planning process.
What This Document Provides
This document includes: a rationale for differentiated instruction within the mini-lessons; a detailed agenda for the Wellness Fair, including timings for each activity (health, nutrition, fitness, and safety lessons, breaks, and guest speaker slots); and a description of the opening activity and community resource booths planned for the event. It does *not* include the full text of the mini-lesson plans, speaker presentations, or detailed booth materials – only their scheduled placement within the fair.
