It's hard to believe, but second trimester is quickly coming to a close! There is a week and a half left before encore classes will switch. With the end coming up, there are many final assignments due.
In sixth grade, students are finishing up the body systems unit. The chapter test will be given next week.
The seventh graders are working on a sexual harassment and domestic violence unit.
The eighth graders are working on the "Gameplan" abstinence curriculum. They will also be doing a teen parent project before the end of the trimester.

Lifeskills 2/8-2/12
Next week we are lucky to have Mr. Shilliga from the Township of Downers Grove presenting the Lifeskills program. The Lifeskills program is taught at all of the surrounding junior highs. It is a GREAT opportunity for students to learn skills for use in their every day lives.
The sixth grade program focuses on bullying. Students will learn what to do in situations where they are victims of bullying. They will also learn how to help friends and how to make sure they are not being bullies themselves.
The seventh grade program focuses on drug education. The presentation goes along wonderfully with the Lakeview drug education curriculum. The students will discuss what certain drugs do to the body. The focus will be on refusal skills and how to "Say NO."
The eighth grade program focuses on stress management and goal setting. Students will learn ways to relieve stress and how to prevent it from happening. They will also practice goal setting with an emphasis on preparing for high school.
The students should have a wonderful week! Please ask your child about the program and what they are learning :)
