Today I did the Good Touch, Bad Touch lesson with the class. There is a letter in their folder about it.
We have finished up our health unit by discussing keeping ourselves safe by assessing situations and making good choices/following rules created to keep everyone safe and happy! We talked about listening to the voice inside us and to the messages our bodies give us when we are getting sick, are scared etc.
