DARE

In January our class will have four DARE lessons, one each week, with Officer Fontaine of the Colchester Police Department. DARE is a great program that teaches students about making safe, healthy choices. DARE looks a bit different at each grade level. In first grade, DARE focuses on personal safety. The four lessons are titled: 1) Personal Safety 2) Drugs: Helpful or Harmful (for first graders the focus is on medicine and medications that might be at home. The lesson teaches children that medicine can be both helpful and harmful and that they should never take it on their own) 3) Learning to Say No 4) Dealing with Angry Feelings If you have any questions about the DARE lessons please let me know!
