Personal Safety classroom guidance lessons will be taught when we return from spring break. I will be showing a safety & sexual abuse prevention film from the Iowa City Community School District’s health curriculum at the end of our lessons. I will send you another letter home about the film before your child views it so that you can contact me with any questions you might have.
During these personal safety lessons I have the following goals:
§ To teach children some problem-solving and communication skills they can use if they are ever in an abusive, scary, or confusing situation
§ To help children become aware of how they feel, their personal space, and their right to feel safe
§ To identify and build support networks for children to turn to in abusive, scary, or confusing situations
We will be identifying adults children can talk to if they are confused, worried, scared, etc. It is important for children to know that there are adults both at home and at school who will listen to them.
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
