6th Grade:  How would you define the word “drug”?

Today the 6-1 clas began discussing drug education.  Such as the three general categories of drugs and the difference between drug use, misuse, and abuse.  The 6-2 class finished their self-esteem projects.  If you did not turn in your project today, then it needs to be finished for homework and turned in tomorrow!

8th Grade:  How much caffeine is too much?

Today I discussed with the students various caffeine amounts in different drinks and how large amounts of caffeine effect the body.  Next, we discussed methamphetamine while viewing a powerpoint that illustrated how meth changes a person’s physical appearance.  The students then chose a partner and a substance to research.  We will begin research on Monday.   Tomorrow we will be in the gym for the teacher vs. student volleyball game!!

Have a great evening!
