Alcohol and Tobacco

 We have been talking a lot this week about how to keep our bodies strong and healthy! We discussed good things to do and this week we'll start discussing some things that are not a good idea if we want to stay healthy and fit. Tomorrow we will start our unit on Alcohol and Tobacco. Follow this link to see some of the risks of alcohol and tobacco. The Infographic is a great way to share quick information, like the results of your survey's. I definitely enjoy making them, and maybe you could keep this in mind for our next project!!
