First Grade- The story The Sneeches and other Stories by Dr. Seuss was read. The story is about creatures who thought that their ONE difference was more important than ALL their similarities. They start out by thinking that they are very different, and realize that they are really very similar.
Second Grade- The story How to be a friend: A Guide to Making Friends and Keeping Them, by Laurie Krasny Brown. This book emphasizes that differences don't matter to friends. You can be friends with someone who is different.
Third Grade-A Powerpoint was shown to the all third grade classes discussing what bullying is, which was followed by a quiz done together.
Fourth Grade- We started a writing project about bullying or cyberbullying in which they will continue to work on throughout the year and share with first graders in June.
