I'd like to invite you to join me and read "8 Keys to End Bullying" by Signe Whitson this upcoming October! This book gives practical tools for both educators and parents so we can work together to end bullying in our schools.
All 4th and 5th grade students had a unit on "Rude, Mean, Bullying" last year that was based on this text and the activity book that goes with it. If one of your children is in the 4th or 5th grade, ask them about it! All 3rd graders will have this unit this year.
A huge focus for me this year is celebrating our UPStanders - those kids who bravely stand up against mean behaviors and in some cases, bullying behaviors. Our school is finding ways to help encourage this from our students to celebrate those who stick up for their peers. Students standing up is one of the biggest ways to end bullying, and they need our support and guidance to know they have the strength to do this!
Join me for 4 Mondays in October/November (every other week) and for online discussion as we apply the lessons of Signe Whitson to our beloved Willow River Elementary. You can check out the Book Club Syllabus , order the book online, or borrow one from my counseling library!
