October Is So Exciting, It’s Frightful!

October brings new curriculum, engaging hands-on lessons, and the importance of keeping our kids safe online with Digital Citizenship!  This week, Hornung students were introduced to Digital Citizenship, where they learned:

•  to only go on pre approved sites from teachers or parents

• to keep their private information to themselves (don't give out full names, addresses, phone numbers, etc

• to not talk to strangers online.  They should only have their friends and family online with them.

• to stand up to cyber-bulling, and to be kind to everyone.

In addition to these lessons, they have hands-on activities to reinforce the material taught.  This week, students make Digital Citizen People out of pipe cleaners.  Their job was to take this character home, and put it by their home devices, so that they can help them remember to stay safe online.

If your child plays video games online, help them to stay safe by checking their "Friend" list often.
