Bullying Prevention Week
Next week, October 2-6, we will learn about anti-bullying. Each day teachers will read books about how to prevent bullying and how to help others if you see bullying. They will also do scenario cards with the students and discuss what to do if you are in a similar situation. During the week, they will do various activities. They will learn the difference beween tattling telling when it involves safety. They will learn what to do if someone is "bugging" them. They will learn how to be an up-stander. Please ask your child each day what they learned. We will wear different colors each day.
§ Monday – red
§ Tuesday – orange
§ Wednesday – yellow
§ Thursday – green
§ Friday – blue
