RED RIBBON WEEK
Dear parents,
It is that time of year again in which October is upon us. Every October, we celebrate Red Ribbon Week. This month, we will learn about drug awareness as it relates to the dangers of alcohol, tobacco products, and improper use of medicine.
Grades K and 1 will watch our Danger Rangers safety videos that discuss medicine safety and other safety rules as well as complete a follow up activity.
Grade 2 will learn about the definition of a drug (something you take that alters the way the body works) and will discuss medicine safety and dangers. They will make a medicine safety book that will come home with them after they have the lesson. We will also discuss the dangers of tobacco use with this age group.
Grade 3 will discuss the definition of a drug as well, in addition to the dangers of medicine when it is taken incorrectly. This grade will also talk about tobacco and alcohol use and how these substances affect the body. Student will act out a play in class that incorporates this idea. This week, 3rd graders are performing Charlie and His Magnificent Machine that educates students on how taking unknown medicine can affect our body.
Grade 4 will have a classroom lesson on the dangers of tobacco, play a Kahoot and have an activity to reinforce what they have learned.
Grade 5 will learn about the dangers of alcohol abuse, a play about tobacco use, and a Kahoot about alcohol.
As a school, we display our commitment to drug awareness and healthy choices by engaging in dress up days. These will occur October 29th –November 2nd, 2018.
