College Mentorship Program Lesson in Bullying

kenansener CMP, News
Ms. Larson’s 7th grade CMP (College Mentorship Program) group has been completing lessons on bullying. By identifying different kinds of bullying, students can more readily recognize and report mistreatment of themselves and others. Students have learned to empathize with those being bullied and to avoid bullying or cope with it if it happens to them. They have also learned what bystanders can do to discourage bullying and support peers who are targets. The students are concluding the lesson by creating a poster reinforcing the theme “You’re Not Alone” as part of the anti-bullying campaign.
Additionally, the CMP group has begun a series of thought-provoking leadership activities. These lessons will equip, empower, and inspire students to discover their passion and make an impact in a changing world. Below is a photograph of the students engaged in a leadership skit that they created.

ECON-O-MANIA IN 2ND GRADE!

kenansener News, STEAM
Students in 2nd grade are learning all about Economics during our unit in Social Studies. Throughout the week, students were challenged with a variety of real-world application of their economics concepts. One of the favorites was a visit to the Mall of Econ-O-Mania! Students were given $300.00 to spend…. but $200.00 MUST be spent on items that they need in order to live. Working with their partners, students loved the challenge of reaching their $300.00 spending limit and choosing items that they really wanted to buy!
