Take a Stand

Take a Stand, Lend a Hand, Stop Bullying Now! 

This was BES Anti-Bully week.  Students participated in various activities to learn about bullying and what to do when someone is being bullied.  Our favorite book of the week was Jungle Bullies by Steven Kroll.

We used this book and others to learn strategies when dealing with bullies.  I turned this into a Reader's Theater.  So in addition to the anti-bully work, we are working on fluency. 

We also made bracelets with anti-bully messages like "BES doesn't Bully", "Be nice", and "Take a Stand".

Finally we wrote tips for dealing with bullies.  We used the tips for the door decorating contest held this week.
