Ms Quin – Division 17

 

This week students learned that the only reason any adult, even an adult they know, should touch or look at their private parts is to keep them clean and healthy.

Some great books to read with your child at home:

Gorgonzola: A Very Stinkysaurus – Margie Palatini

The Pigeon Needs a Bath! – Mo Willems

Dear Parents/Caregivers,

This week students learned to name and identify private parts on bodies – body science. We know that learning and practicing the appropriate names of private body parts helps keep children safe.

Below is the diagram we used to teach the private parts of the body.

Dear Parents/Caregivers,

Last week students learned that they can be assertive in regard to their personal space and touch. They can stand up for themselves and say “No” using a strong voice and a strong body if someone touches them in a way they don’t like.

Ask your child to demonstrate using strong body language in situations where they may feel uncomfortable.

Some great books to read with your child at home:

• Stand Tall Molly Lou Mellon – Patty Lovell
• One – Kathryn Otoshia
• Don’t Hug Doug – Carrie Finison

Last week we learned all about cyber safety. Children learned that even though you can’t touch people through devices, there are still safe and respectful ways to be with people when we’re talking with them digitally. They learned to use polite language and to not share personal information online.

Students also learned that they can stand up for themselves online when they are not feeling safe or respected. They can walk away, turn off the device and tell a trusted adult if something happens online that they don’t like. Ask your child about digital safety.

Please explore these excellent resources to support you in parenting children online.
