HEALTHY CHOICES AND AODA (ALCOHOL AND OTHER DRUG ABUSE)
At second grade we focus on educating about the harmful drugs that are legal for adults to use and limit our conversations to tobacco products and alcohol.
Lesson one focused on the harmful effects of smoking and other tobacco products. Currently I am using the following handouts to teach this. They are outdated, but the information is still relevant, accurate, concise, and age-appropriate. The district hopes to update the curriculum soon!
Lesson two focuses on the harmful effects of alcohol and when it is appropriate to worry about an adult we care about. To teach this, we read a book and answer student questions.
