Rainbow Days

Each Monday a volunteer from Rainbow Days comes to each first grade class to teach character education and life safety lessons to the students. Ms. K., our fantastic volunteer, teaches the students lessons such as who the boss of their body is (their brain), the safest seat in a car (the back), when you become an adult, and ways to say "no" to drugs and alcohol. The lessons are taught through engaging stories.

Each Friday for the last several weeks and for the future few weeks, the students will be taught character education lessons by a guest teacher, Ms. K. She visits our class for about thirty minutes to teach social skills lesssons such as how the brain is the boss of their body, where safe seats are in a car, etc.

Ms. K. is a part of a program called Rainbow Days which "teach children and youth a set of essential life skills: skills to help them learn how to cope with difficult family situations, resist peer pressure, set and achieve goals, and refuse alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs." She teaches through read-alouds, discussions, and hands-on activities. You can learn more about their program by visiting their website.
