Safety

This month we have been busy with our EQ: How can I keep myself safe?  In order to introduce the lesson, we grabbed items from our mystery bag in order to discuss ways to remain safe in the car, water, on our bikes, scooters...  Then, we moved to discuss safety from people.  We read the book Scoop.  The book took us on the journey of learning the 5 super safety scoop rules.  The children made a flip book in order to assist them in remembering these five important rules.  They were told to share them with family members of all ages.  We will continue our safety EQ by discussing different ways people may "lure" or "trick" them into unsafe situations.  The students will watch a series of clips in order to increase their awareness of these tricks.  We will review all of our safety rules by playing safety tic tac toe.

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year!!!  We are back in full swing! 

This month in second grade, we are working on the essential question. " How do I communicate my feelings?"  The students enjoyed discussing their feelings and emotions through the game similar to cranium.  We are going to be discussing communicating our feelings using "I messages." 

Third grade's essential questions are "How can I accept my mistakes?" and "How can I take responsibility for myself?"  We are enjoying practicing the three strategies by becoming Hollywood actors!!!  They should all win an Oscar!

Next week, the students will watch a series of webisodes on the announcements that discuss bullying.  Please ask your child about these!!!
