6th - Puppets Away!

6th graders are learning about peer pressure this week and doing a project to raise their self esteem.  Ask your student what self esteem is and how to increase their own as well as a friends.  In class, they are creating puppets that will eventually be used to practice refusal skills?  What are refusal skills? Talk to your student and see if you can figure it out.  We'll be talking about it in class on Tuesday.

6th - Self Esteem

Well, 6th grade is all done with their specific self esteem work, and we will now move into Peer Pressure.

We are ALWAYS looking for magazines for class projects, so if you have some laying around please send them in with your student!

THANKS!
