 Discovery Education Joins Forces with WebMD to Create Free Lesson Plans

When it comes to healthy living, it's better to instill kids with good eating habits at a young age. A mentality that includes healthy food and exercise choices is an important one that kids need to be made aware of at an early age. 

Discovery Education has teamed up with WebMD and Sanford Health to create free lesson plans for teachers called fit 4 the classroom (no relation to the D-organization fit4D, though). The program is an off-shoot of WebMD’s fit program, which is a set of at-home tools for parents and their kids. This program was launched in September, and schools are encouraged to have teachers incorporate these lesson plans and tools into their established curriculum,  alongside the basics like science and math, so that students can “learn how to make positive, healthy lifestyle choices” — ostensibly something kids are not learning regularly now!
