Overall Review for Grade 2:
Review Comments:
- Healthy identification: everyone is unique with personal strengths and weaknesses.
- Positive introduction to social and family relationships to include outside support to families such as civic organizations, religious organizations, child care providers, and community support organizations
- Not clear how the teacher facilitates Presentation 2.3, Slide 6 for how to handle unpleasant feelings.
- Seems to overemphasize the bad touching.
Curriculum Reviewed:
- SOLs
- Three PowerPoint Presentations
- Supplemental List
