Bicycle Day at India Hook
Monday October 29th, in coordination with the City of Rock Hill and USA BMX, we will have a Bicycle Day. This day will include an in house field trip for our fourth graders where they will learn bicycle safety and bicycle skills. The fifth graders will meet a professional BMX rider who is also a part of USA BMX Stem and learn about his profession as a BMX racer as well as a promoter for STEM activities. After the in house field trip and fifth grade talk conclude we will gather 3-5 grade students for a pep rally which will allow them to learn about the many cycling opportunities within the City of Rock Hill. The culminating activity for the day will be a family/community bike ride in the Woodlands subdivision. Then, if you are able to, sll students and parents as well as community members are invited to meet in the back parking lot at 5:45 for a 45 minute ride through the neighborhood.
RED RIBBON WEEK
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.
