Bullying Lessons with Mrs. Oljey
1st grade- We read the story The Sneetches, by Dr. Seuss. The story is about creatures who thought that their ONE differences was more important than ALL their similarities. They start out by thinking that they are all different, and realize that they are really very similar. A discussion is held about the book and about real life.
2nd grade- The lessons begin by talking about friendships. The book How to Be a Friend and Keeping Them by Laurie Krashny Brown is read. A discussion about various good and bad friendship qualities are discussed.
3rd grade- A powerpoint presentation is a cartoon format is reviewed with the students. It talks about what a bully is. This includes cyberbullying, what a victim/target is, along with a bystander and egger. Discussions are then held with the class about the cartoon and how the various types of bullying could be stopped.
4th grade- a review of bullying is held. Students are instructed to come up with a bullying situation that they will be creating a story about to share with a future 1st grade "buddy" classroom.
