Kindness / Anti – Bullying:  Each week our 1st – 6th grade students attend a Student Learning Community Class taught by Mrs. Roberts (also our librarian) as one of their 30 minute specialty classes.  This class teaches students social skills.  This last week, the focus was on kindness and stopping bullying.  I encourage you to follow up with your children on the following:

A.  What is the kindness stone that Mrs. Roberts talked about and gave to each student?

B.  What does empathy mean and how do we show it?

C.  What is the difference between being rude or mean and bullying?  What are the effects of bullying on others?

D.  How can we use Stop, Walk, and Talk to prevent bullying?
