With Saleema Noon coming to speak with classes this week, we have started our Sexual Health unit. We have set our class discussion ground rules, talked about the appropriate words to use, and about the exciting things that being an adult brings. In this initial discussion, kids had lots of interesting questions and expressed mixed feelings about puberty. We've asked the students to share these feelings with someone at home, so that parents can help shoulder some of the anxiety that kids feel around this topic. We encourage parents to attend the Saleema Noon parent talk on Tuesday night as well.
In Language Arts, the biographies are almost finished. Students spent an hour today editing their first draft for sentence structure and transitions. That second draft will need to be at school on Wednesday, where we will have peer editors take a second look. Finally on Thursday, students will spend the afternoon revising their conclusions. The final copy and bibliography will be due on Monday, Feb 1st.
Next Wednesday is Global Play Day. Kids should start thinking of what they should bring with them to play with. We also have skating times booked throughout February. The permission form will go home in this week's Friday Folder.
Hope you all have a great week!
Mrs. Soper & Miss Kelly
