"Too Loved to Do Drugs"

2nd and 3rd Grade students are learning about healthy habits and unhealthy habits. I first explain what a habit is. Then we brainstorm a list of healthy habits and unhealthy habits. We talk about how some habits are ok in moderation, but if they are done too much then they become unhealthy (eating chocolate, playing video games...). We move right into reminding ourselves that we have Friends, Family, and people in our Community who love us way too much to ever let us choose to do drugs.



I then give each student a red, yellow, and white piece of paper. They are instructed to write the name of a friend on the red paper, a family member on the yellow paper, and a person from the community on the white paper.


We glue each student's papers to our chart in order to help us remember that we are surrounded by friends, family, and people in our community who love us. Each class takes the chart back to their room to hang on the wall for the rest of October.
The idea for the chart came from a post on Pinterest showing a worksheet for students to complete. I just decided to create one chart for each class instead of copying papers for everyone.
