November27
It’s that time of year where 5th graders get to learn about their bodies and the glorious transformations they will be enjoying soon (i.e. Puberty). Sometimes, these lessons can cause an uptick usage of certain terminology or discussion topics. The guidelines that we share with students on the first day (and every day) are as follows.
The key that we remind them of again and again is that yes, you may discuss these ideas…WITH TRUSTED ADULTS!
Thanks for having conversations with your child about this sensitive subject.

We began our Second Step lessons today. Unit 1 is about Goal Setting.
Summary
In this week’s lesson, your child will learn how to set a goal that’s right for them. A goal that’s right for someone is specific, challenging, doable, and motivating.
Try This at Home
Ask your child what their goal is and how they know it’s right for them. Encourage them to describe why it’s motivating to them. Talk to your child about a goal you reached in the past and why you chose that goal.
