Health Lessons

Starting after break, our social worker, Canika Prescott, will come in each Monday morning to teach health. The kindergarten health program consists of identifying emotions, how our bodies feel when we experience those emotions, appropriate ways to react to those feelings, and what facial expressions would signal those feelings in others. At the end of her time with us, Ms. Prescott will also be talking about safe touches. She teaches children to identify safe and unsafe touches and what to do in case someone touches them in an unsafe way. I have always felt these are very important and age-appropriate lessons, but if you'd like to preview any of them, just let me know.
