Upper Grade Center is offering depression awareness and suicide prevention training as a part of the Signs of Suicide® (SOS) Prevention Program next Tuesday, September 24th and Thursday, September 26th.
Our goals in participating in this program are straightforward:
To help our students understand that depression is a treatable illness
To explain that suicide is a preventable tragedy that often occurs as a result of untreated depression
To provide students training in how to identify serious depression and potential suicidality in themselves or a friend
To impress upon students that they can help themselves or a friend by taking the simple step of talking to a responsible adult about their concerns
To help students know whom in the school they can turn to for help if they need it
Parents need to check their email to find more information on this program. You may also check out Elyssa's Mission website which has provided all the materials for this presentation at http://www.elyssasmission.org/
This morning SRO Garcia walked the BUGC students through a presentation about what A.L.I.C.E is and why it is important. With the help of Bourbonnais police and fire departments, students were able to practice various scenarios that required barricading and/or evacuating classrooms. #keepingkidssafe
Sometimes keeping it simple is fun as well. In this picture BUGC students are doing Flashlight Reading. As far as teaching strategies goes this is an old one but still very effective.
In Fab-Lab, BUGC students learn the design process from concept to actual production. This student actually created his own remote control car!!
BUGC STUDENTS MAKING MATH HANDS ON:The students are creating bungee cords out of rubber bands and finding the relationship between the number of rubber bands they used and how far Barbie falls. Using their data, they will create a linear model to predict how many rubber bands they would need for Barbie to bungee jump off the balcony in the gym.
