You know, there are a lot of other curriculum things going on in our classroom aside from ME being the teacher all the time! :O) Mrs. Solusby, our school guidance counselor, has seen many of our students and has been in and out of our classroom teaching the kids a program on Anti-Violence and Bullying. The program is called "Say No To Violence." One of the first lessons, Mrs. Solusby had the kids working in groups building bridges out of interesting items. It was neat to see them work together to make bridges, and it was a great object lesson to show the kids how to build bridges with each other.
Another lesson was discussing with the kids how to deal with bullies and some students who cause trouble. We did a bullying survey in our class last week where we discovered that almost 50% of the fifth grade class has been bullied or IS being bullied! That's a HUGE number! We are going to be fighting that to bring it down. Mrs. Solusby mentioned to the kids that the only way to stop bullying is to REPORT IT. Officer Jenkins is talking about the exact same things in DARE. Here are some pictures!
