On Monday, we will begin our C.A.R.E. Kit lessons. Grade 2 parents will remember this programme from last year. The purpose of this programme is to teach the students how to keep themselves safe in situations that could lead to them being abused – whether it be emotionally, physically, and/or sexually. Students learn the appropriate (scientific) terminology of body parts and how to assertively defend and protect themselves.
After each lesson an information card comes home to parents to share what we have discussed that day. These cards are intended to open the conversation between child and parent(s).
If you have any questions, or wish to look at the kit, please feel free to come by the class and discuss this with me.
