All grade levels (1st-5th) have completed Bully Prevention talks. The Second Step program taught grades 1-3 about the 3 R's of Bullying:
-Recognizing Bullying
-Reporting Bullying
Students were encouraged to report bullying to a caring adult. We practiced saying, "I need to report bullying." in a strong, assertive voice!
- Refusing Bullying
Students were encouraged to refuse bullying, if they felt comfortable with doing so. We practiced say, "Stop it, that's bullying!" in a strong, assertive voice!
And lastly, Grades 1-3 learned about the role of a bystander (those who observe bullying) and how they can help the situation by either reporting bullying, refusing bullying or supporting the person being bullied.
Grades 4 and 5 worked on how to recognize, report, and refuse bullying, understanding bystander power and responsibility, and cyberbullying.
Cyberbullying is bullying using electronics. There are similarities and differences between cyberbullying and other forms of bullying. Bystanders can help stop cyberbullying by supporting the student, standing up for the student, and not passing on the hurtful messages.
A great article on books for kids and tips for parents regarding bullying.
