Hello, Wildcats families! In Guidance today we learned (& relearned) about how to stay safe - at home, in public, and online! If you're curious about bathing suits in December... we used those to explain private areas on our bodies and how to protect our body boundaries! Any body parts that a swimsuit covers are private! We talked about trusted adults (parents, teachers, other family members, cops, etc.) and what to do if someone tries to harm us. I encouraged each student to talk with their families at home tonight about everything they learned as well as asking guardians if their families may have additional rules to keep safe. I love hearing the creative rules and ideas students share from their families' conversations about keeping safe. I learn something new each year, too!
Mrs. Simmons' 5 Grade Ambassadors had their last meeting before break. They were doing ALL sorts of goal-writing to prep for creating vision boards in January! Wild evening!
