Bullying Update

Well the first year of the new bullying curriculum has almost come to an end.

First graders discussed differences between one another, and how that makes all of us diverse. However diverse we may be, we still need to remember to respect one another. We also talked about playing games online and making safe choices.

Second graders discussed friends, differences and traits of good friends. We also discussed in length what a bully, target, egger, bystander, and cyberbully are.

Bully: someone who hurts or scares kids on purpose.

Target or victim: the person getting bullied.

Egger: the kids who help the bully by laughing at targets and encouraging the bully to bully.

Bystanders: the people who see bullying happen. "Witnesses".

Cyberbully: Bullying that happens thru technology. ie. e-mail, social media's MySpace, Facebook, texting, pictures on the computer or on cell phones, and/or Pictochat on DSI etc...

Third graders discussed bullying, what it is, who is involved, what to do if you ever see bullying or are involved in some way. They are currently finishing a project where they were asked to create a comic involving bullying or cyberbullying.

Fourth graders have been working extremely hard on an anti-bullying book to read to first graders at Maple Avenue. They will be completing their projects this month.

If you have any questions on bullying, please feel free to contact me. The bullying curriculum is also posted on the Goffstown SAU website under resources-anti-bullying committee.
